Learning how to Write a Gratitude Journal and Actively Keeping one.
I am doing many new things this year to achieve optimal health and perfect health. One of my new endeavors is to start a Gratitude Journal and every day write about something I am grateful for.
In the February issue of Good Housekeeping Janice Kaplan wrote a great article about the words ?Thank you? and also how to Write a Gratitude Journal.
The following is directly quoted from her article and are not my words/phrases and the like- Reference below:

How to Keep a Gratitude Journal
by Robert Emmons
?People who document what they?re thankful for reap a host of health an emotional benefits. Get started with these tips from Robert Emmons, Ph.D., adapted from UC Berkeley?s Greater Good website:
1. Commit to Happiness: Journaling is more effective if you first make the conscious decision to become more fulfilled and more grateful, research suggests. ?motivation to become happier plays a role.? Emmons explains.
2. Go for Depth over Breadth: Elaborating in detail about a particular thing for which you?re grateful- e.g., how thankful you are for your husbands repair of that broken faucet- carries more benefits than listing many things.
3. Make it Personal: Focus on people you?re grateful for, not things. And try subtraction, not just addition: Reflect on what your life would be like without certain blessings rather than just tallying up the good stuff.
4. Savor Surprises: Record events that were unexpected or surprising, as these tend to elicit stronger levels of gratitude. For inspiration, search ?community gratitude journal? at greatergood.berkeley.edu.

My name is Jessica Caracciolo. From the age of 7 I started seeing and hearing spirits. I would hear them walking around my room, and knew of the man's description that lived in the attic. Being afraid to go to sleep at night was a growing trend at that age until I started trying to communicate with them. I used to leave a composition notebook in my bathroom with questions for them and a pen inside, hoping in the morning that they had written back. Much to my dismay they didn't. However, I have grown a lot: Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally and Physically and am now not just the spiritually gifted little girl that no one believed. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Psychology (Child Development, Research and Counseling) from Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, MA after needing surgery and having to transfer from Anna Maria College in Paxton MA. Health issues have been a long term battle for me, but being a medical intuitive it is easy to diagnose myself and make myself better, which I am greatly succeeding in these days. The best way to describe myself spiritually is that I am a person who is blessed with not only one spiritual gift but with almost all sensitivities. I am psychic (predict the future), medium (communicate with spirits), clairvoyant (clear seeing through third eye chakra), clairsentient (feel everything), empath (feel what others feel), clairalient (smelling), claircognizant (knowing), clairaudient (hearing), shaman, energy healer, Reiki practitioner, clairvoyant healer, aura healer, color healer, psychic surgeon, medical intuitive, paranormal investigator, intuitive counselor and intuitive. I predict, feel, and sense the weather and am starting to work with and research water. I am also considered an indigo child. Another way to describe myself would be extremely creative. I am a pianist, vocalist and a major craft artisan and artist. I feel my purpose in life is to use my spirituality, education and creativity to help others. If you want to communicate with me or receive a service please feel open to doing so. My goal is to offer affordable services and products so that anyone can receive guidance without having to redo their financial budget, especially with the insecurity in the economy.
