I find that practicing gratitude is often the easiest way to a positive outlook. Being grateful for the things I have in my life can keep me in an upbeat mood and can change my mood from bad to good should I find myself lost in a dark alley. Gratitude can shift me out of darkness and/or keep me in the light. I must remember to practice it daily.
I find gratitude in the blessings in my everyday life. I can also be grateful for simply the things I enjoy whether they are mine or just around me in my world. Two bloggers I enjoy, Mark & Anne Marie, both recently posted a list of 21 things they like. What better way to stay positive or shift oneself toward a great outlook and a wonderful day?

Gratitude is a useful tool indeed. I enjoyed your list. 🙂
Thank you for inspiring me. Made my morning much better just by writing these down.
its been a while since I popped by and this is a great reintroduction. Good sheets would be up my list a bit higher jockeying with the better half! 🙂 (I realize yours is in no particular order)
I love this. Great list! And great idea – 21 things.
