with love and gratitu de always. Foreword I first met Ronnie twenty years ago on a sunny Saturday in a community education class in downtown Minneapolis. We sat side by side. I was a newish author, hugely pregnant and extremely uncomfortable; she was a seasoned illustrator and the funniest person I had ever met. We were both in class to learn how to be ubiquitous. In other words, how did we, as writers and creators, show up in enough places seemingly all at once so the average consumer concludes, Wow, I need to know this person and what she s about.

Fast forward to today. Ronnie and I are still friends living many miles apart. Im no longer pregnant, shes still warm and funny, and Im truly honored to add fresh encouragement to Ronnies long-standing passion for touching lives and hearts through this new gem of a book, Gratitude with Attitude: How Journaling Thankfulness for Just 5 Minutes a Day Can Change Your Life . The power of gratitude is indeed a ubiquitous and proven message; giving thanks for what we have improves our mental well-being. Focusing on what we have moves us from lack to abundance. I get it. I get it.

I have trouble remembering to take my one multi-vitamin. Ronnie gets it too, which is why her journal is exactly the way it is: practical, useful, inviting, and warma reflection of the artis t herself. Some twenty years ago, Ronnie and I agreed we may never achieve true personal ubiquity (there are a lot of YouTubers vying for those spots), but if I can let one more person know about the beautiful soul behind this quest to cultivate happier hearts, I can add that to the top of my grati tude list. Gratefu lly yours,

Bestselling author and i llustrator Introduction Hello, I am so grateful you are here! Ive never been a very good journal-keeper. Most of the gratitude journals Ive seen felt sooo serious, and they often left me bored with the format. And, even though I have much to be grateful for each day, I would lose interest in them.

They were just not me, and, if youre reading this, perhaps they arent working for you either. After all, everybody looks at the world a little sideways on occasion and feels the need to color outside the lines! ButI do believe in taking a moment each day to reflect on what we are grateful for, a moment to celebrate even the small things in our journeys. Big A-Ha victories dont happen that often, but every day CAN bring us a little more clarity and a little more insight. A journal helps capture those magical little moments: all those sparkly jewels in your life. So, lets talk about Gratitude with Attitude . Each days section includes: An area to write up to three things you are gra teful for.

A place for a tidbit that was a bit extra (something that made you smile, think, you found interesti ng, etc.). A place to celebrate a small victory you experienced that day. Hey, it might be as simple as the fact you actually ate a salad or stopped yourself from rolling your eyes a t someone! And, to start things off in the right direction the next day, theres a place to write down an intention youd like to carry with you to the next morning. You might consider using w ords like: peace joy fun open optimistic clarity abundance calm courage balance wonder purpose empathy patience opportunit y serenity And heres the cool part: filling out your daily entry only takes five minutes! Just five minuteseven I have the patience for that! I hope this journal is one you reach for every day when you take a moment to be grateful for the small kindnesses, laughs shared, and all the love surrounding you. And, again, I am so grateful that you are using this little book to re cord them! Ronnie
