    An ambitious goal to become an expert in the art of gratitude by writing at least one thoughtful thank you or acknowledgment per day for 10,000 days (that's 27.4 years). Themes and categories include family, friends, classmates, charities, authors, artists, musicians, film makers, poets, entrepreneurs, inspirations, products, brands, sports, travel, cities, countries, events etc. This is an experiment in the discipline of being thankful. 10,000 days were selected to reflect the 10,000 hours concept of becoming an expert in any skill. It provides a platform to communicate things that might ordinarily go unstated. And will be interesting to look back on one day, as a journal of a life well-lived. I'm looking forward to reminiscing.
