Increased well-being, a calmer mind, a more generous orientation toward others, greater overall satisfaction—these are but some of the benefits of being grateful.

This sounds like a fantastic plan.

You'll find yourself and your path. Your default doesn't have to be discouragement which needs fighting against. You can find joy, peace, and awesomeness.

I'm glad you can post your stream of consciousness thoughts here on Steemit. I look forward to the future where they will be refined down to your main points and focus. Happy birthday, Jed (and yeah, I know I'm a day late).
