Gratitude really can change your world

I will post my daily gratitude list. I invite you to add your gratitude list in the comments.

Today I am grateful for two friendly and helpful clerks at Sprouts.

Today I am grateful for a peaceful and productive day at work.

Today I am grateful for dragonblogger and his inspiring poetry based on random words from his Twitter friends.

Today I am grateful for Discount Tires' free air check service. I drove in, they inflated my nearly flat tire and topped off all my other tires.

Today I am grateful to Hormel for the completeness of their labelling on their marinated pork roast. It didn't just say "sugar"; it told me exactly where the sugar came from. It wasn't from cane, so I could eat it! I am grateful for all companies that care enough to provide complete information.

Today I am grateful for Leslie, Dave, Mike, and Gretchen.

Today I am grateful for my wonderful dog, who is always teaching me the power of enthusiasm, optimism, and joy.

Today I am grateful for Netflix's wide selection of movies that allows me to see things I'd never had heard of otherwise. (Recommended for you today: Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles).

Today I am grateful for junk mail - it's free art supplies and it comes to my house every day. Yippeeee!
