Cultivating an attitude of gratitude

This month's NASP Communiqué, (Jan/Feb 2011, Vol. 39, #5), featured an article by Jeffrey J. Froh, & Giacomo Bono entitled Gratitude in Youth: A Review of Gratitude Interventions and Some Ideas for Applications. I encourage you to read the article, it is a good primer on how we can increase cour gratitude and that of children (and thus over all quality of life).

If you have any trouble accessing the article (which could happen, I'm not super internet savvy), let me know and I'll email a copy as well.

Today I am thankful for..

  • February vacation
  • Sleeping in
  • Beautiful, luxurious soaps
  • A new job for a dear friend
  • No class this week
  • Good television marathons to watch on DVD while slowing producing reports
  • Optimism, resiliency, hope
  • Access to quality health care
  • The possibility that maybe, someday soon, I'll have the answers I'm looking for
  • Coffee.
