“End the day with gratitude.” There is someone, somewhere that has less than you.” Zig Ziglar

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” Melody Beattie

“When the right person hugs you, it’s like medicine. I am so grateful for those few people in my life who are good for my soul.” Steve Maraboli

On medium.com George J. Ziogas discusses the amazing power of gratitude in his article “How Gratitude Rewires Your Brain and How To Make it Work You.” He explores the many benefits as a tool to boost your wellness. It is said that gratitude isn’t just an emotion that we feel. It is defined as an act. Something that must be done intentionally as recognition of the positive aspects of our lives. These are the things that bring us joy and make our lives feel full. It is defined as an attitude or disposition and something we must do on purpose.
