since it can be so easy to focus on the negative i thought it might be good to start a daily thread where we can try to find 3 things each day we are grateful for. there is an author who did this and she found her mood really changed over time from learning to focus more on the positive.

i'll go first. we're currently in heatwave mode so i'm very grateful for:

- my a/c
- a ceiling fan in my bedroom which helps tremendously so i don't wake up exhausted
- my crazy & cute dog (bichon/minipoodle mix)
