Use these suggestions to cultivate an ongoing attitude of gratitude.

On 10/24/2017, the day before my mother's funeral, I spent an hour or so reading DEATH POEMS in a tiny chapel within walking distance of my hotel room.
I still recommend this book. And the 14-page sampler in PDF format is archived here: web.archive.org/web/20211025...
