Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful I’ve exercised some restraint when it comes to cosmetic procedures. California is filled with custom faces, constructed bodies, and even though mine is quite imperfect, I’m okay with it being more out-of-the-box, so to speak …. 🙂 I’m grateful I live near the mountains. In times of crisis, no one yells, “Run for the valley!” and I’m grateful for roasted chicken. It’s always a good dinner.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

People are disappointing. It’s defeating and even a bit hurtful when you truly realize that someone doesn’t value you the way you hoped they would. I know my feelings aren’t unique. I also know my value – like a classic car, or a rare coin – isn’t really lessened just because someone doesn’t want it or understand it. So, today, I’m grateful I believe in me.

The end.
