		<title>The Optimistic Branch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a recent hike in the mountains, my husband and I came across a truly curious site.   At first glance it appeared to simply be a fallen tree, uprooted and lying quite dead on the forest floor, its roots jutting out sideways onto the trail.  But on second glance, we noticed that what we thought [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A wonderful unexpected benefit to practicing proactive gratitude is that it seems to sharpen your intuition.  I&#8217;ve been delightfully surprised by this little &#8220;side effect&#8221; of my gratitude practice.   That &#8220;inner wisdom&#8221; that once seemed so difficult to distinguish from the voice of my ego, is now clear, strong and unmistakable.
