For this weeks blog post we were able to choose what we wanted to write about, related to our Research Project. I chose to post the letter I wrote to Dr. Martin Seligman during last weeks class expressing my feelings about completing his "3 Good Things" exercise. As I said in my letter above, completing Dr. Seligman's "3 Good Things" exercise really made me feel good at the end of my days, no matter how I felt throughout that day. I think it's important to be aware of the good things that happen to every person every day. Even if you think you're not one of those people that good things happen to, you're wrong. Good things aren't necessarily winning $10.00 on a scratch-off or making a new friend. There's so much more to gratitude than the things people assume. Even just a smile from a stranger or a stranger holding the door open for you. Or even a stranger saying thank you when you hold the door open for them!!! There are many miserable people out there and I've noticed now more than ever how things as simple as smiles and thank you's are worth being grateful for.

I'm so happy that the process had such an impact on you. I'm finding it interesting how differently people are experiencing the process and the different outcomes it has had.

Hey Katina, that's awesome that you had such a good experience doing this, I'm sure dr. Seligman would be happy. Do you plan on continuing with the three good things?

I am not continuing to write it down, but I honestly do try to revisit this every night and think about things that went well for me throughout the day. I really enjoy the feeling of gratitude, a lot of people take it for granted.

GREAT POST! Do you plan to do this years down the line in your life? Any advice for someone who has never done this? Will this change the overall writing in this course?
