1)I am grateful for all of the amazing people I have in my life and for all of the love, friendship, guidance and support they give to me.

2)I am grateful for one simple fact of life: It is never too late to make a change.  Every moment is another opportunity for change. 

3)I am grateful for the roof over my shoulders, and vehicle to transport me from one place to the next

4) I am grateful for finding and being able to wear my Yellow Lance Armstrong "Livestrong" bracelet.  I will wear it today and think of my dear, late grandma Betty.

5)I am grateful  for the millions of choices I am confronted with each and every day.  And for  the freedom to choose for myself.

6)I am grateful for hearing the voice of a loved one today, and knowing I am loved.

7)I am grateful for the exciting journey  that lies ahead.

8)I am grateful for the guy on the street corner  selling  flowers for $5.  They make being a romantic and thoughtful  boyfriend much easier.

9)I am grateful for the feeling of a hot shower when it's cold outside.

10)I am grateful for being able to be grateful  It isn't easy to do.  But I recommend trying it.  Tonight or tomorrow, instead of only writing your NYE Resolutions, also jott down a list of things that you are grateful for.  Continue to add things to your list and re-visit this exercise often, and you will be a much more grateful person! ;) 

Happy Grateful New Years Eve Everyone!

Be Great and be Grateful.

Respectively,
