I have learned gratitude is a great virtue to practice, preferably everyday.
I read an article about gratitude just recently and say to myself: Self, you have to talk about this gratitude thing.
I wanted to express how gratitude has helped, and still helps, me in my life and hope it will help you too.
There is a scripture that says, “Be anxious for nothing, but make your request to God through prayer and thanksgiving…” (paraphrasing Philippians 4:6-7).
Thanksgiving, thankfulness = Gratitude
I have found offering gratitude, thankfulness, to those around me has helped to foster better relationships. It shows I appreciate them; I do not take them for granted.
A simple “Thank You” can mean so much. 
For instance, I know saying thank you to my husband for his support, love and daily grind is why I can do what I do. When my daughter says Thank you mommy for being my mommy, it just melts my heart.
Everyone wants to be acknowledged and appreciated. When you send a thank you card, or sincerely thank someone, people will be more inclined to look at you in a positive light. Being grateful can win you a friend. Who doesn’t want a friend? I sure do, want friends.
Thusly, I am so grateful for all the people who have offered my advice, who have given me an opportunity to act, who have been a positive mouth piece, who have just been there…you get it.
