My New Years resolution for 2011 is to write 5x/week in my new blog (here) on gratitude.
Last year, my resolution was to go to a 12-step meeting everyday. My guess is that I made it to about 150 meetings in 2010. That is less than 50% of 365, but still worked out really well for me.
Ponce de Leon searched for the fabled Fountain of Youth and never found it. I feel like I have found a 'magic' key to happiness in being grateful. It did take me 51 years to find. After a long and difficult search, I am all the more grateful & relieved for having found gratitude to be a powerful antidote for the chronic depression I have endured for the last 35 years.
Hopefully my gratitude blog will help others live a more grateful life. I know it is going to bring a wonderful fitness to my mind, emotions, spirituality and soul. Chances are good with those life-elements being in tip-top shape, my physical fitness will also be greatly improved.
I am an intensely private person. Posting intimate details will be a challenge for me. I will have to practice on that. Writing my gratitude for food, shelter and material objects will only go so far.
More later,
Kevin
