I started writing Gratitude Journal a month ago and I am now totally addicted to that positive feeling that is generating positive outlook, more creativity and proactive approach to life. Your idea of doing year/decade gratitude list is another insight I gain. Thanks for sharing!

I started a tradition of sending "Happy Gratitude Day" e-cards a few years ago. I use my Fall photography, so in a way I can savor Fall colors while also sharing gratitude with others. As for a list of what I am grateful for, I also design my own Christmas Cards each Thanksgiving - and part of my design is a listing of my 12 blessings for the year. This is now my "Christmas letter" - reading between the lines of the blessings (each with a short explanation), one gets a Christmas letter with a very positive focus. Thank, again. I say we change the name to Gratitude Day!!! Derrick - I like this. I started a tradition of sending “Happy Gratitude Day” e-cards a few years ago.

I could imagine you getting more and more caught up in the details as you remembered about the year. One hundred things every Thanksgiving - neat tradition, thanks! Reminds me of another new tradition that I read about this year - following up monthly on <a href="http://davidseah.com/blog/groundhog-day-resolutions/" rel="nofollow">Groundhog's Day Resolutions</a> - every 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc. There's also something wonderful about creating a new tradition that's just your own. Thanks for the idea, Derrick. Really fun to read your article. I could imagine you getting more and more caught up in the details as you remembered about the year.
