Altadena author John Kralik will talk about and sign his new book, 365 Thank Yous: The Year A Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed My Life, at 7 PM Wed., Jan. 26, at Vroman's Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena.
One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low. Then, on New Year's Day, he was struck by the idea that his life might become at least tolerable if he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing one thank-you note each day. One by one, he began to hand write notes, and immediately, thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around.
