ability, to enrich human life…People are moved, opened, and humbled through
experiences and expressions of gratitude…Gratitude is a key to happiness…Emmons, Robert A., Thanks! How Practicing Gratitude C an Make You

A Health.com article entitled, “Want
a Happier life? Try being
Thankful”
gives this information. “Being grateful
increases
happiness by 25 percent and boosts the amount of time people
spend
exercising (a terrific bonus for those of us who struggle to
get to the
gym). Being positive even seems to
create greater
equality in dividing up chores between partners.” http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20411146,00.html
