About the Author
Foreword
The book you are holding in your hands exemplifies the expression, small but mighty.
On the surface, A Little Book of Thank Yous by Addie Johnson looks like a simple and sweet book.
Which it is.
But it also packs a potent and powerful punch.
This book, if you let it, can change your life.
Actually, let me rephrase that: this book, if you use it, will change your life.
I trust that you noticed the change from the passive let it
to active use it.
And that you also let yourself feel not just the possibility of change, but the certainty.
These are no small things.
You can read this book and enjoy the beautiful quotes and stories. You can delight in Addie’s creative ideas. You can nod, knowingly, at the encouragements, which you sense would make a difference if you followed them.
But what I’m asking you, on your own behalf and that of anyone you love, is to please make this book a mighty force in your life by not just reading it, but by putting it into practice.
Make the commitment right now to read this book with a pen and some sticky notes at the ready; annotate as you read. Keep in mind that you aren’t just taking notes, you’re making a gratitude action plan!
Make notes about which ideas you want to try right away and for whom. Make notes about specific people that drop into your mind whom you want to thank. Make notes of creative twists that will transform Addie’s ideas into oh-so-personal gratitudes of your own.
And while you are making all the notes, pause every once and a while to feel the joy pulsing through your body. Because one of the beautiful secrets about gratitude is that simply thinking of it changes our state of mind!
Hey, wait a minute,
you might be saying. "If simply thinking about gratitude will make me feel good, why can’t I simply read this book, feel great, then put it on the shelf when I’m finished? What’s the need for that gratitude action plan you are talking about?"
I’m so glad you asked!
Reading and thinking about gratitude will make you feel good. There’s no doubt that you will put
