Gratitude is a very positive character trait, but a gratitude practice or an “attitude of gratitude” is both more simple and more complex than it first seems.  Beginning the day or ending the day with a journal practice of gratitude for one or three items has become very popular in the personal development world.  This is great, but might not be the whole picture.  While there is a clear benefit to focusing on the positive aspects of your day rather than the negative, when you can detach your judgment and be grateful for your difficulties, stumbles, and misses during the day, gratitude is world changing.
