I know, I know.

 

This doesn't seem to be the most fitting thread for this forum. However, research does indicate that there are specific ways one can harness gratefulness to improve their life satisfaction ratings, not just in the immediate future, but even a year later participants in one study who both wrote a letter expressing gratefulness to an important figure in their lives and then read that letter to the individual rated their lives as more satisfactory by a statistically significant portion.

 

So, I thought it might be fun for us each to write a letter of gratitude (and I think maybe best to avoid writing it to our exes!) for someone who has been a stable and beneficial presence in our lives. And then, also let us know if you read it to the person, and maybe as time progresses, let us know if you think it helped or is helping you.

 

I will definitely write one and add it to the mix, but I thought it would be good for someone else to start the ball rolling.
