About
In 2007, I began this site as a vehicle for people from all over the world to express gratitude for the simple things in their life – mostly because it’s what I needed to do myself, and because being more grateful was having a profound impact on many areas of my life.
It began when a short piece I had written was published with the heading ‘A Grateful Heart’ on a website called “Insights of the Day” in 2006, and my inbox was flooded with replies. I couldn’t believe that something so very simple could strike such a chord, and I was humbled. Far from having it all together, I was using gratitude to find the magic in my own very ordinary existence. Little did I know how extraordinary my life really was…
Sometimes we need a reminder to get honest about how good we really have it. Even on your ‘worst’ day, there will be so much to be thankful for if you dig deeply enough…even the fact that you have been able to read this may be the sign you have been looking for to start saying ‘thanks’ in your life.
I hope that you will join me by making your ‘gratitude list’ public on a consistent basis..it’s a little daunting at first, but so very empowering, and I must say, even a little addictive!
Thanks.

Today I am Thankful:
I am thankful that the sun was shining thru my bedroom window and allowed my body to wake up without the alarm.
I am thankful that my 6 year old never pushes me before I am fully awake.
I am thankful that my husband, although my opposite in every way, excepts me and embraces my differences.
I am thankful to have found a website where I can share my gratitude with you and you with me.
Thank you for giving me a voice.
