Gratefulness affects our lives from the inside out.  It shifts our focus from the things we lack to the abundance of things we have been blessed to receive.  Psychologists document many benefits of gratefulness, including better relationships, more resilience, less stress, and better health.  Gratitude can increase happiness and reduce negative emotions and depression.  Alertness, motivation, determination, energy, and optimism increase as gratefulness thrives.  People become more attractive, likable, and employable when gratefulness is a key characteristic of their lives.
