We are all taking a moment this week to focus on gratitude. This is an especially dramatic year, with the financial and economic crisis causing much hardship around the country and with an exciting new national leadership on the horizon.
This is something to be thankful for: Study Suggests Some Cancers May Go Away. Fascinating...
I have been thinking about reading the book Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier by psychology professor Dr. Robert Emmons. (You can read about Dr. Emmons' book in this UC Davis article.) According to Emmons' research, people who practice gratitude actively and regularly are in better physical and emotional shape, exercising more and experiencing fewer illness symptoms.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
