What a wonderful thread. As I was reading it, I was also listening to Katie Couric talking about gratitude and how psychologists have found out that gratitude is the biggest determiner of having a happy life.

Each day, I begin my day by writing an email buddy my celebrations and gratitudes. It has made such a wonderful difference in my life.

This week I found out that my mother has alzheimers. I am so grateful that she has been diagnosed and will now receive some great care. I am in celebration, that my father (a member of the stoic generation) is joining a Alz support group. I am proud to be their daughter and look forward to finding new ways to love and honor them as life changes.
