I've been working on gratitude and being happier and I'm grateful that my car was broken into as I can see how much progress I have made in being happier and I'm recovering much quicker from the negative things that happen to us as part of life. I used to get really upset and immobilized when something would happen and now I can see real progress.

I did not get angry at all about my car, I just dealt with it. I accepted the hassle involved and handled it even with the toilet not working, which is fixed too.

I can see real progress when I compare my reactions to my car getting broken into in 7/06 and 1/07.

Gratitude does lead to changes.
