365 thank yous

I gave John Kralik's book to my mom for Christmas and have been waiting to read it on spring break.  It was a quick one-day read that really changed my perspective on life.  The author, plagued by misfortune in his life, makes a seemingly small promise to himself and ends up changing his life as a result.  He vows to write 365 thank you notes in one year.  From his children to the Starbucks guy, he recognizes the small acts of kindness that make a difference in his life, and as a result, he finds even more kindness awaiting him.  This little book illustrates the importance of gratitude, something vital to our happiness and well-being.
