Running an errand, I came out of the Metro and here she was : cathédrale de Notre Dame. So beautiful! Later, in an above ground metro, I overheard a dad say to his daughter: there are so many beautiful buildings to see in Paris. I added: how did we get so lucky to see all those beautiful buildings?
I am grateful to be able to notice beauty around me.

I am grateful for laughing so hard that I cried. I noticed that it is much easier to laugh when I am already happy in the first place. One more reason to increase gratitude: it increases happiness which in turn increases laughter.

I was making plans with my family and I had a sense of this French expression: «mordre la vie à pleine dents». In English it sort of translates into living life to the fullest.
I am grateful for this feeling. How does it get any better than that?

I am reading a book on fearless living. The author talks about gratitude exercises as a way to reframe our life and stop complaining. On page 211 to 213, she write about recommendations to add more gratitude to your life.
I am grateful for this good book.
