I'm a firm believer in daily gratitude - it is so powerful for my mood. I keep a journal and one year (just one - we should try it again) my entire family shared a gratitude jar. On New Years Eve, we read the pieces of paper in the jar and reflected on all the positives of that year. It was great and I don't know why we didn't do it again the following year. Thank you for that reminder! Also, I love expressing gratitude in advance. I agree, it sets the tone/energy for the event. I enjoyed your article, Zeenat!
