The practice of gratitude has many amazing benefits

According to Harvard, Gratitude can make you happier!

(...and nobody argues with Harvard.  They're wicked smart!)

According to an article published by Harvard last year, "gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness."  You want positive emotions, improved health, the ability to deal with adversity and strong relationships?  Gratitude can help!  (don't believe me.  Read it here!)
