After reading an article on gratitude in one of my old church magazines recently, I decided that I needed to let those around me know what I am grateful to them for. I decided that I will first tackle my facebook friend list.
I am letting everyone yes, everyone, on my facebook friend list know what it is about them that I am grateful for. At first I was nervous. Some of these people aren't going to see the note I posted on this and know why I am writing them such a heart-felt note. I mean honestly, how many people on my fb list do I even talk to in person? But, it is going very well! I posted that I was going to send these notes privately, and that no response was needed. Those responses that I have received have been amazing! Some people were suprised that I even gave them a thought. Some people were sincerely touched. I think some people really think I am a dork. Well, this is still a work in progress, so I will keep you posted on this. I also have every intention of doing this with real people as well. I plan on telling everyone that I encounter something positive.

That is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
