To amplify good feelings, think about all the things you love..

this Christmas, i only asked for 2 things from my family. I ended up getting a lot more (not necessarily material) and i was just so overwhelmed with joy. I can't even begin to explain how blessed I have been. but anyway, one of the 2 things i asked for was a book...The Power by Rhonda Byrne. it's like a sequel to The Secret...which changed my life. and so my brother got this book for me. ive been reading it and i came to the chapter about amplifying good feelings because in so doing, you attract good situations. (you really need to read the book) But basically, this chapter inspired me to make a tangible list of the things i am thankful for. something i can reflect on whenever i need reminding. (which hopefully, shouldn't be very often.) because i know that it is impossible to list every wonderful thing in my life in about 30 minutes, this will be an ongoing blog. and ill just add to it whenever i think of new things. :) but uhh, yeahh...here goes:
