Great idea re: gratitude lists

In my meeting this morning the facilitator had a great idea. Doing a mental gratitude list before going to sleep every night. What a great way to sail into slumberland! I'm going to start doing this tonight.

My rule is you have to have different blessings. Can’t say over and over, “my children are a blessing” without adding something different.
