Leah Dieterich is the latest blogger-turned-author with THXTHXTHX: Thank Goodness for Everything. The book is based on Dieterich's blog THXTHXTHX, which features one of her handwritten thank-you notes a day, and will compile 100 of these notes in print form.
The message in Leah Dieterich's handwritten notes is always heartfelt; even unfortunate or untimely situations seem to get a positive spin. For example, in one note, she thanks a bee that stung her on her face; this allowed her to ice her already-swollen lip at the same time.
This positive perspective on everyday life is quite inspirational. In an era characterized by venting on social media sites and clamoring for our just desserts, THXTHXTHX: Thank Goodness for Everything stands out for its humble sincerity.
