A man fell down a deep hole.
Shortly after, a doctor happened by.
Leaning over the edge of the hole, the doctor exclaimed, "Oh! You poor man! Here, let me help you!" And he wrote a prescription and tossed it down to the man. "That's good medicine - I hope it helps!"
A short while later a priest came along.
Leaning over the edge of the hole, the priest cried out, "Merciful Heavens! You poor man! Here, let me help you!" And he wrote down a prayer and tossed it down to the man. "That's a beautiful prayer - I have faith it will help!"
Finally, the man's friend happened by.
Leaning over the edge of the hole, the man's friend exclaimed, "Oh my god! There you are! Hang on!" and jumped down into the hole with him.
"You idiot! What did you do that for?" the man shouted. "Now we're both stuck down here!"
"Yeah," replied the man's friend, "but I've been down here before, and I know the way out."

Today I am grateful for all the friends I have -- and sponsors along the way -- who've been down there before, but knew the way out.
Hello, I googled the name of my book and found your site. My name is Garie Thomas-Bass. I am a retiree. I am also am a new author! The title of my book is: A Season of Gratitude a Day at a Time (AKA: A giraffe named Gratitude) My book provides a relaxed space for readers to take a few moments out of each day for 93 days (a season) to calmly reflect on and jot down five gratitude thoughts (with no repeats) with the assistance of helpful prompts provided by the author. The hope is that this joyful experience can also be an experiment in making note of these elevated gratitude thoughts and taking note of the elevated prosperity that follows. My book fits in with your value system!
