2. Finally getting out of the eye of the storm and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel at work
3. Starting to get a little more balance - focus is on "little" at the moment =)
4. Making lot of progress on important changes that need to take place
5. Everything becoming much better once things get out in the open

How Can Five Daily Gratitudes Help You?
As UC Davis psychologist Robert Emmons has demonstrated in his research, "The evidence that cultivating gratefulness is good for you is overwhelming... Specifically, we have shown that gratitude is positively related to such critical outcomes as life satisfaction, vitality, happiness, self-esteem, optimism, hope, empathy, and willingness to provide emotional and tangible upport for other people, whereas being ungrateful is related to anxiety, depression, envy, materialism, and loneliness" (learn more here).
