Thirty Days of Thanks

In November, I did a thirty days of thanks where I actually thanked all of the wonderful people in my life.  I called/texted/wrote/emailed these great people and told them how important they were to me.  It was very fulfilling!  I hope to do this every year.  Some of it was repetitive, but I was just keeping track of it on twitter.  Anything is better than not telling people how important they are to you.
