Gratitude

I just finished reading a book by A.J. Jacobs, The Year of Living Biblically (I think that is the title anyway). It was basically part of the reason that I decided on my resolution.
The subject of my post today is gratitude because his memior is a great lesson in learning how to be thankful. I've been wanting to focus on being conscious of the importance of gratitude. I hope that this will help me to recognize the blessings and look past failures in my life.
