Good Days Start With Gratitude is a 108 days guide to cultivate an attitude of gratitude! It is a self exploration journal designed to focus on being thankful for what we have, the big things in life, as well as the simple joys. Each well designed weekly spread contains an inspirational quote, space to write 3 things you are thankful for each day of the week, and a weekly checkpoint.

Do it daily and make it a habit to focus on the blessings you have been given! Grab a copy for a friend and share the journey together!

When I choose to be grateful and think about my appreciation for each day, I am focusing on the best things in my life, which is what really matters. Taking the time to focus in on the most positive moments is a good way to key in on what is important. Keeping a gratitude journal has helped me learn more about myself and become more self-aware, especially because my journal is a safe zone for my eyes only, so I can write anything I feel without judgment.

I believe they unsubscribed after clicking on a bonus post I wrote Saturday night for paid subscribers, which I sent to the whole subscriber group. I put in a paywall after the first two paragraphs. Free subscribers thus received the post, took the time to open the email and start reading, and then encountered a paywall with an appeal after the opening hook to subscribe at the supporter level. Annoyed, they unsubscribed.

Start with a genuine desire. You have to want to do something beyond feeling you should do it. For example, if you have fallen off the exercise wagon and feel you should restart cardio and strength workouts at least three times a week for health, try to identify and cultivate a desire. Maybe you\u2019ll realize you want to prevent heart disease, or that you want to get fit for an upcoming special challenge such as a hike or run across the Grand Canyon, or that you want to spend time with a workout partner. Once you discover that you feel better and more satisfied after completing the routine, then you can focus on that rewarding after-effect to stoke your desire to continue it.

Set aside time for it. It doesn\u2019t have to be daily, but it does have to be regular and something that works with your schedule. For me, I realized that reading a book has to happen first thing in the morning. (Audiobooks are easier\u2014I cue one up for drives and longer runs.) And it has to be before I check email or start scrolling Instagram.

Create a specific routine involving a place and method. To make sure I started reading, I had to sit in a certain chair in the living room, away from my office, right after I poured a cup of coffee and before I went upstairs to my laptop. Additionally, I had to keep my phone out of reach. (I no longer need to take that precaution; I can read without reaching for my phone because reading has become a habit, and it\u2019s nice to have the phone nearby in case I want to use the online dictionary or to Google something mentioned in the book.)

I\u2019m going to use the steps above to try (again) to develop a creative writing practice, because I have a story idea brewing but can\u2019t seem to make any headway on transferring it from my imagination to whole paragraphs. I lack a routine dedicated to writing, aside from producing these weekly posts, and I feel frozen by high expectations when I try to brainstorm and draft anything creative or fictional, as opposed to first-person nonfiction. I need to allow myself to start small, and make peace with feeling like I suck at it, to make a routine and with that routine, progress.

I felt burned out and beat up from running by the end of fall. I had achieved my main running goals for 2022\u2014starting with a respectable road marathon, then running several 50Ks and a 100K to build up to a mountainous 100-miler for a Hardrock qualifier\u2014but my training at year\u2019s end felt stale, and my body needed rest.

I registered for several races\u2014Black Canyon 60K next month, Antelope Canyon 50M in March, Run Rabbit Run 100 in September\u2014and started dreaming about and planning non-race run goals, such as crewing/pacing friends at their ultras. I vow to make this the year I finally do R2R2R and/or Softrock. (That\u2019s rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon, and a traverse of the Hardrock 100 course broken up into three or four days.)

Leadership, it's kind of a big deal these days in the media and on campus. And while talking about leadership is great, we have found that working together with strategic campus partners builds trust, empathy and productive relationships. We would like to take a moment this Giving Blue Day to show gratitude to the united efforts of our campus partners. Their partnerships support our programming, engage new students in our programming, and further promote our mission of life-long leadership learning.

Ah friends. I had such high hopes for getting Monday off to a great start. You know that feeling where you think you have your day planned perfectly, and then you're thrown a bunch of curve balls that sort of derail your plans? Well, that's been my morning.But let me start with the positive: I had a wonderful weekend, catching up with dear friends, going for a run (in the balmy 55-degree weather!), recharging with some reading and journaling, and then did some serious cleaning after my week...

Devotees in New England, Virginia and other places have maintained contradictory claims to having held the first Thanksgiving celebration in what became the United States. The question is complicated by the concept of Thanksgiving as either a holiday celebration or a religious service. James Baker maintains, "The American holiday's true origin was the New England Calvinist Thanksgiving. Never coupled with a Sabbath meeting, the Puritan observances were special days set aside during the week for thanksgiving and praise in response to God's providence."[14] Baker calls the debate a "tempest in a beanpot" and "marvelous nonsense" based on regional claims.[14]

By the end of the 19th century, Thanksgiving Day was normally celebrated on November 6 (see also Guy Fawkes Night discussed above). In the late 19th century, the militia staged "sham battles" for public entertainment on Thanksgiving Day. The militia agitated for an earlier date for the holiday, so they could use the warmer weather to draw bigger crowds.[33] However, when the First World War ended, the Armistice Day holiday was usually held during the same week. To prevent the two holidays from clashing with one another, in 1957 the Canadian Parliament proclaimed Thanksgiving to be observed on its present date on the second Monday of October.[8]

It was during these first few days that I started to comprehend how different this season will be and I was overcome with gratitude and happiness. There was so much less stress around everything (logistics, funding, training etc.) and I was able to fully appreciate the moment.

Then we went to Ushuaia. As I mentioned in my blog before heading to Ushuaia, I was incredibly excited to go skiing and it felt a little bit like getting ready to go on vacation. I now realize I felt this way partly because I didn\u2019t have to do ANY of the planning. Our travels down to Ushuaia were unbelievably smooth and it was so nice to travel without having to worry about all the details and logistics. When we arrived in Ushuaia and started to train, everything continued to be easy, smooth sailing. I simply showed up for the shuttle in the morning and went to training.

As I progressed through the camp I\u2019m proud that the feeling of gratitude continued. I did however still experience the mental struggles I always feel during summer training of trying to figure out how to progress as fast as possible with the little time on snow (more on this in a future blog). This was a good reminder that even if I have all the support in the world, it\u2019s still up to me to make the changes I need to, put in the work, and ski as fast as possible. And to also remember to constantly challenge myself (within the structure of the team) to question what is going to help me be the fastest. For example: Am I skiing the right amount of days of each discipline? Am I on top of my boots and equipment? Am I holding myself accountable each day on the hill each run? Etc etc. No matter the resources, everyone still needs to put in the work if they want to succeed.

When I practice gratitude, these proclivities do not disappear. But they are filtered through a different lens. The overarching theme of the created world is good. Love threads itself through the warp and weave of life, even on the weariest days. There are tiny sparks everywhere that kindle wonder. Blessings surround me.If I can start out that way in the morning, I can circle back to that place of gratitude like a touchstone as the day wears on. e24fc04721
