With permission from fellow 100 lb club member Beverlyjoy, I would like to bring this over here to the Maintainer's Forum -
These are Beverly's words:
For the past 10 years or so - every morning, I've written down five things for which I am grateful. Most days it's easy. Some days, not so easy. But, it always puts things into perspective. No matter how good or bad things seem to be - there are always things to be grateful for.
I'd like to make this a daily *ritual*. Please join in.
-grape tomatoes
-my warm winter hat from the Gap
-my resistance band
-on line bill paying
-hair dye
--getting paid for helping women and families
--my kid's dream school coming through with enough money she can go there
--healthy kids
--a husband who loves me just the way I am, but never holds me back from my efforts to improve myself
--my healthy body
- having the ability to work from home on days like this when the snow is coming down

Nice idea Robin. We do "prayers of gratitude" most evenings at our house, kind of the same idea.
