For gratitude rocks -- pick out any two stones that are very special to you. They can be from your garden or from the nearest river. Whatever suits you best. Carry them in your pockets and every time you touch them, think of something you are grateful for. Try it out! -Nick Hey guys,

Gratitude and humbleness can be tough for me. I often feel that when I show gratitude that it comes off as fake or out of obligation. Ugh....better get crackin on the next task...

I've wanted to say thanks to you for some time now, your site has motivated and entertained me since I discovered it several months ago. I believe that the articles you and your associates have written here have contributed to my understanding of what it means to be a man, and my drive to make something better of myself, and you have helped me to take an active interest in areas in my life that sorely needed attention. For all this I am indebted to you Brett, thank you for taking the time and effort to help and inspire me, and all the other men (and women) who follow this site. I hope that we can help you in your own effort to be a better man, And I wish you success in all your endeavors.

Since the first of June you have given me incredible amounts of food for thought and introspection, and I really love that. So, thank you AoM, because you are the reason I am already a better person!

My wonderful girlfriend for getting me off my lazy butt and go hiking. Also, for my girlfriend for the way she makes me laugh...as if I hadn't in years. I'm grateful for my bosses being as understanding as they have been when it comes to my divorce and custody battle. My ex-wife...yes I am grateful towards my ex...for teaching me a few things about myself I never would have learned had it not been for going through this fairly difficult experience with her. I am EXTREMELY grateful for the gift I have to play music and express myself through song .... ( drums.... ) I am grateful to have the opportunity to hike to the tops of mountains and feel the fresh air and share it with my girlfriend. That's what I got for now..... I am grateful for the following:

It may be simply that so many of us have been brought up to show stoicism. It may also be that many of us were brought up to believe that overly fulsome expressions of gratitude gave the impression of "brown nosing". Just musing.
