In the spirit of “thanksgiving”……

 

Having gratitude is one of the single most empowering act I can perform. I am a firm believer in adopting a habit of writing in a gratitude journal. I cannot be grateful for the big things in life if I am not grateful for the smallest things that happen daily in my life.
