It was a relief to me after the whole experience that it didn't change my life. I guess that was good and it meant that I wasn't completely failing on the giving thanks department. It was nice having to put thanksgivings in words everyday, though, as it makes it super clear what I was thankful for and have time to let it sink in. Most days I was just thankful that I had another peaceful day, so it was nice to be forced to think of more specific things each day.
