The Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan is simply a book that I came across and thought it sounded interesting. It was never on a must read list of mine. I was simply intrigued by it's subject matter. That being said, it wasn't a life-changing read or anything. It was interesting for the most part though. I like thinking about positive things. I even write down things for which I am grateful sometimes although not every day. I think it's a good habit to have, looking on the bright side of life. I like the comment in the book when she says that one cockroach can ruin a bowl of cherries, but one cherry does nothing to improve a bowl of cockroaches. If you ponder that thought for a minute, you'll see that it's a really good example of what she's trying to get across. Don't let that one bad thing make you forget about all those good things in that are still in the background. Don't focus on the cockroach so much. Smash it, throw it out and move on. If you're one of those people who always has something to complain about and want to change that, then pick up a copy of this book. There could be something in it that helps you turn yourself around. If nothing else, it will help you see what positivity can do for a person. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
