Tom Boyce posted this on Facebook this morning. I really needed this reminder today

Want to know the secret to happiness in this life? It's gratitude. If you're not happy now, getting the things you want or think you need isn't going to make you happy. What will make you happy is to develop gratitude in your heart. Try prayers where you don't ask for anything but just express gratitude for your life, the health you do have, and the blessings that come from drawing breath. Carry a talisman in your pocket, (mine used to be a small rock I picked up and thought was pretty, now its the Smith's customer loyalty tag on my key ring) whatever you want it to be but make it a point that every time you see it or feel it when you put your hand in your pocket, you will think of 5 things for which you are grateful.

I promise you that if you're not happy this very simple exercise will change your life!
