Gratitute

Do you know that gratitude is a key aspect of happiness?  Research in Positive Psychology has shown those that recognise and are grateful for the things & people they have or have had in their life tend to be happier.  I guess it is not rocket science but easy not to practice.  So, my challenge for you is to spend a few minutes to think about who has touched your life in a way that you are thankful for?  Perhaps it is someone from some time ago, or perhaps more recent.  Then e-mail or write to them and thank them for what you appreciated.  You may find you are blessed by sending it just as much as they are when they receive it.   When I first encountered this I wrote to an old university friend who’s friendship meant more to me that I think I had ever told them,  so I did albeit many years later.  So, have fun and you may be surprised at how good it feels!
