The Glass is Full

Today I read an article by Susan Jeffers, Ph. D that suggested to make a list of 50 things each night that we are grateful for. This helps one to be positive and focus on what we do have in life...not what we do not. I wanted to see how hard/easy it was for me to accomplish a list as long as 50....

"...When we focus on abundance, our life feels abundant; when we focus on lack, our life feels lacking. It is purely a matter of focus."- Susan Jeffers.
