Gratitude

Taking the time every day to recognize what you're grateful for helps keep things in perspective. Gratitude carries you through the tough times, and gives you the strength to surpass the stress of challenges.

Reflect on your family, your friends, or the place where you live, and the satisfaction they bring you. Think about your good health and your talents. Consider the pleasure you received from a phone call when a friend or a laugh you shared with your children.

Look back on small and large moments, the affection of a pet, your success in the garden or a deep and fulfilling relationship. These are all the tings that nourish gratitude. And, gratitude makes life worth living.
