Here's a sample page from my gratefulness journal
General:
1. Grateful for all of life's amusmements; movies, books, hobbies, touch, imagination
2. for kindness - from others and towards them
3. Even though we have weather extremes, we can still go outsided to go to work, the store, the park. It hasn't gotten so bad weather and pollution wise where we have to stay in little bubbles
For my past day:
1. Baby wasn't teething
2. No migraine today
3. ice cream!
things I'm grateful for in lifes 'negative' areas
1. My mom being in the hospital has brought the siblings closer together. I know lisa is working at home so I don't call her but she calls me like three times a day - sometimes for news sometimes just to make sure I'm okay. My brother calls as well. I can't call him much because he's at the hospital. We have a family conference call tonight
2. Exhaustion since the baby due to I guess hormones, baby and increased migraines (tuckered out the day after migraines) a few times a week. I'm not zipping here and there bumping into everything and tripping all over myself. Its a good thing to make habit with a baby. I already get butterfingered with everyday things, moving slower helps instead of being the roadrunner.
3. Friends and family are far away - helps me see that though difficult I can get through this new endeavor - mommyhood on my own. Through colic, fevers, teething...he's so wonderful and I'm very lucky
What about you - can you fill these categories with at least three things?

Once again your response is telling.
Tell me brijlesh - and I ask as a friend - what do you usually get here on mylot each day - I average well over a dollar most days. Which of course isn't my main draw as I live in the U.S. and if I weren't a housewife this would be a waste of time. I ask because you seem to answer to the subject - which in many of mine have nothing to do with the discussion or question. For instace this one, is about a gratefulness journal, and I invite you in my opening discussion to share yours. Its a really easy wasy for you to up our word count and thus your pay.
In another you answered you liked monkeys, when this was in my subject but just as a ruse, the topic and question - although it kind of related to monkeys was in my discussion about kid's games - my favourite of which is Barrel O' Monkeys.
The way I make this money is by treating a discussion like a real conversation, listening to EVERRYTHING the person has to say and trying to truly understand, if I don't I ask for more information or clarification. Of course, I always try to be polite and helpful.
You have the politeness - brijlesh as I find you to be very polite and pleasant. Like in real life though, perhaps with the women in your life when they feel you're not really listening, I'm hoping in the future you can really and truly become a participant in my discussion - not just fly through and try to make money - you'll make more by reading - and really answering - really. I look forward to future - real conversation where we each listen to the other and respond. I say listen but really mean read of course!
I think of mylot as a huge dinner party full of international friends!
I hope you have a fortuitous day!
