Sitting in your cubicle, you’re watching the clock tick off the work day minute-by-minute, willing time to pass quickly while counting down the hours and minutes until the magic hour – 6:00 p.m. – and the start of your annual holiday.

A few days ago I was inspired by Kim at So Many Places to stop, take 5 minutes and write a letter of gratitude to my life.  At the time I was reading her blog post I was particularly tired, it’s a busy life – that of an innkeeper, and it struck a chord with me right at that moment that I should be grateful I have a life that gives me the opportunity to feel good about the work I do… and that I have this life.  So I took Kim’s advice and wrote my letter right then and there.
