    I'm loving this gratefulness journal! I tend to the end of a day and not really feel like I remember what happened, whether it was good or bad. This is helping me add reflection and it's great to focus on the good stuff.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation
    A round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles emits just over 1.5 tons of CO2—per person. That’s a lot of carbon! What can you do to reduce the number of flights you take per year?

    Flying is tough to reduce because I value travel and being a transplant, a lot of my close friends and family are spread across the country. Looking to do more local explorations may be the best way for me. Also, do I really need to see my parents...?
