I found a new blogger today. Amanda M. shares…
“One of the things that I use to get over negative and obsessive thinking is the practice of Gratitude. I have a book dedicated to all the things that I am grateful for. Everyday (almost) I list all the things that I am grateful for and I don’t stop until I’ve filled one page. On the days that I feel most negative, it takes the longest time to fill a page, but once I have, I feel calm, serene and full of Grace. These days, I’m feeling particularly grateful for the spring time scent of Jasmine that blooms at the door of my office. Aside from putting Jasmine in my Gratitude Journal, I also step outside and take in a deep breath of the sweet perfume, getting lost in the moment and coming out the other side a little more centered. The daily practice of Gratitude makes the world seem a friendly place and gives me a good measure of positivity.” Source: Daily Practice « My Recovery in 12 Steps
Thanks…
Bright, shiny objects! 
Todd, this is what I mean about the world appearing to be a friendly place. Thank you for the kind words and the positivity :)

Thanks for your post, Amanda — sometimes it’s hard to compliment someone’s blog without sounding like one of those comment spammers, but I love what you’re doing there! I have just recently started tracking the ‘recovery’ space and as a WordPress consultant, I just want to say that yours truly stands out as one of the best I’ve seen. Please continue in the path you’ve chosen!
