I’m sitting down to write this blog post on Wednesday, May 5, which just happens to be my birthday.
I’ve developed a tradition for my birthday: Throughout the day, I take time to count my blessings. I think about all the reasons I have to be grateful—often people come to mind, as well as events from the past year. I’ve found it to be the best way to celebrate my birthday.
Through the years, I’ve also come to realize that gratitude is a vital character-quality for writers.
