365 Thank Yous:
The Year A Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed My Life by John Kralik
The motivation behind this marvelous book on gratitude was the voice in John Kralik’s head:…“you can’t get what you want, if you are not grateful for what you have!” And thus began this man’s year long gratitude journey, in which he hand-wrote one thank you note each day.
Why hand-write “the old school way” with pen and paper?““Things we write in cyberspace are so easily deleted and forgotten … buried by the next 30 e-mails we receive,” Kralik says. “In this day and age, a handwritten note is something that people really feel is special.” People save his notes: “It’s up on their wall,” he says. “It’s like part of you that’s there.”
