The triplets in this family think they are ready for just another day of school. As it turns out, each of them faced unexpected problems, problems that bothered them for the rest of the day. Mama knew that they needed to tell someone -- her! -- about the day each of them experienced. At the same time, she explained to them her concept of Triple Gratitude. When you think of three really positive things that happened during the day, it makes any and all problems feel a whole lot smaller. Some of this book is taken from my own life story. The take away centers on thankfulness. When I told one of my friends that every night I think about the three best things that happened during the day, she said, "You must write a book about that." It's how this book came to be. I am not sure where I came up with the idea of triple gratitude. Certainly, I'm not the first person to accentuate the positive to eliminate the negative. But, at a time in my life when a lot of things were going wrong, I decided this might be a good practice to live by. And, I continue to count to three every night. A little more truth? I've never been in love with math or spelling tests. I did outgrow a childhood bully! And, the Jeremy in my life already knew about Orion. If you like the story, I hope that you, too, will adopt the habit of triple gratitude. Some days it may be hard to find three things. Hopefully, there will also be many days when you just can't stop at three.

Autorenporträt
When you have traveled as much as I have, and your focus is on people and murals rather than resorts and spas, you gather stories along the way. In my previous book, Cooking Disasters, I shared some of the spectacular events that required a bit of divine intervention in order for me to survive. But, in this book, there are no close brushes with death or violent wrecks, no more rogues with knives or angry witch doctors, and -- thankfully -- no more bouts of malaria. I learned very quickly that those were the kinds of stories not to write home about. Fortunately, I also have several stories that don't require any guardian angels. They're the ones I could write home about. Yes, I've had some remarkable moments in my journey. One of the tales that you'll read about happened in Namibia. When I told my friend Abdelhadi that I was going there for a mural project, I said, "It's a once in a lifetime event." He was quick to correct me. "No, this is another in a series of Phillip Martin occasions that happen to nobody else but you." I think he was right. I have been blessed everywhere I wander. I've met the most gracious people who have opened their doors and hearts to a wandering artist. After you read these tales, you may also agree with my friend Abdelhadi.
