Gratitude journals are amazing. I started maybe twelve years ago now. It’s helped me slow down and appreciate little things more often. I remember starting out my journal and looking for big events in my day.

I quickly learned that on bad days, I’d have to stretch to something like “I saw a cloud that looked like a puppy.” and that was when I started to look for smaller joys throughout the day. I also stopped depending on other people for joy.


I don’t particularly want to be remembered for anything in my life. I don’t need fame or standing. I dedicate my life to trying to improve people’s lives as a teacher. I’d give my life if it meant everyone would live a significantly better life forever.


Fair, but this is/was still commonly taught in schools. That’s what the original question was.
