  16. Since you mention gratitude in your layout, I have a belated birthday present for you: check out www.grateful160.com. You can sign up for an online gratitude journal and if you want, you can get an email reminder 3x a day asking you "what are you grateful for now?" You reply to the email, and it keeps track. At the end of the week you will get a summary email listing all the things you said you were grateful for. It's a really awesome way to take a couple of minutes morning, noon, and night to remember to appreciate something in your life!
