Just the other day I was sitting there at my comfortable desk at the well paying job that I am not really happy at and said to myself “Why are you not happy and feeling joy right now?” I ran though the reason why I didn’t, things so trivial I can’t even recount them a week later. Even then I knew that *I* was blocking myself off to happiness. I mean really I have it so good, I am not seeing the blessings because I spend so much time feeling sorry for myself.

There is no end to my demands and expectations of life, they will never be satisfied because no mater how many blessings I have I only ask for “more”.

So I have been writing the gratitude list every morning for a few weeks now. It has helped tremendously.
