I knew there would come a day when I would feel utterly uninspired to write. Probably more such days are coming. It’s 4:45, I’ve worked hard, I went to the gym instead of writing this morning (I am now one of those people who “goes to the gym”), I had a lot of fearful thoughts this afternoon, and I’m turning to the gratitude list exercise.
Besides, it’s #ThankfulThursday!

Is this a cop-out on 100 Blog Posts in 100 Days? The point of this experiment is to write every day – it matters less what than practicing the habit for its own sake.
What 20 things are you thankful for today? Go ahead and make a list. Predictably, it DOES make you feel better.
