Gratitude Quotes

Being grateful helps us feel positive emotions, relive happy memories, and improve our overall mental health. Plus, nothing turns around a bummer of a day like focusing on what we do instead of what we don’t. Even on the not-so-good days, we can always dig deep to find something for which to be thankful. We love the Thanksgiving tradition of going around the table so that each family member can share something they’re feeling thankful for, but you don’t have to wait until November 23! Instead, share words of gratitude with your friends, kids, and people at work starting now, and soon you will find that you are seeing things from a whole new perspective.
