That somehow reminds me of the kind of praying, I was taught as a little kid. Even though I first understood it as being a cumbersome duty, I later realized, that it helped reflect on the day. Unfortunately, I stopped that exercise while growing up. What's worse - I think many people more or less keep an "negative diary". We think about the day and pick out those things, that went wrong. That prevents us from valuing the day comprehensively and from realizing all the little successes. I will take your entry as a trigger to return to the exercise of remembering the reasons for being grateful for every day. Thanks for the inspriration! Dear Mr. landau,
