This review is from: For This I Am Grateful (Paperback)

June 4th 2004

I'm looking forward to this book coming out in the next few
months. We really need some books that are just simply "feel good" reads, mostly because the news everyday is so depressing and frightening, I think we have forgotten that live can be good and we can be grateful for many things, no matter how small they might be.

In a nutshell "For this I am Grateful" will be a book written by many ordinary people from all over the world who will say what they are grateful for, whether it is a mother's love, a strong friendship, a life well lived etc.

The Wisdom Press which will be publishing the book asked people to short answers/statements to the following simple questions:

1. What are three words your friends would use to describe you?
2. What makes your home town special?
3. Describe a family tradition that has special meaning for you.
4. How did you meet your best friend?
5. What's your favourite book? Song? Movie?
6. What's your favourite Saturday afternoon activity?
7. If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be and why?
8. What's your dream job?
9. What do you need more of?
10. What's your favourite holiday and why?

Not every person's submission will be included but there will be enough I think to make it an interesting read! If you want to learn more about the book then go to http://www.everydaywisdom.net/ and it will give you a taster as to what to expect.

Roll on the "feel good" read; like I said before, we really need it in this time of trials and tribulations...
