I've been doing it.
Writing two things every day that I feel grateful for, that I benefit from, that I enjoy.
I rarely do the "exercises" suggested in books, articles and speeches but I decided to try this one.
I'm enjoying it.
I can look back at my very long list, over 80 items long already, and say, "wow!"
Try it. You might like it too.

Whenever I daven and say the posuk "poseach es yadecha", I think about all the creatures that are satisfied with the life that Hashem gave them, their food and their habitat, and that we humans have to work on being satisfied with our lot in life as well. We always want more, health, beauty, money, possessions, youth, prestige, etc, and it is OK to strive for these things to a degree but we also have to realize that there are certain things that cannot or will not change and that is the life that Hashem intended for us to be content with.
