Even though I had trouble with my gratitude journal entries, I enjoyed the act of doing it and what benefits I received. Before this specific practice, I thought I was a good example of someone who had great positive emotion.

the power of gratitude... From a scientific point of view, the power of gratitude is a "high frequency" emotion, and as Rhonda Byrne from "The Secret" says, it's second only to love on the emotion scale.
