I try to say thank you to the universe at least once a day. I really think the universe is listening and appreciates it. Also, it’s hard to be angry or depressed if you’re whispering a mantra that goes “thank you universe…”. Thank you for this day, for this job I have, for the roof over my head, for the car I own, for the fact that I can physically get up, walk to my car and drive, for the many people in my life who test my patience and challenge me because it makes me a better person (I think; I hope). Try it sometime. If nothing else, it distracts you from the humdrum routine of sitting in traffic as you try to get to work.
