Life always amazes me when I embrace the unknown and have faith that what I'm venturing into is for the highest good for everyone.
Here's a picture of me with the ladies at my first Women's Group - Discussion Forum I held with the subject being 'Gratitude'.

Gratitude from Dr. Stephen Post at http://www.guideposts.com/story/power-gratitude:
1. Defends: Just 15 minutes a day focusing on the things you're grateful for will significantly increase your body's natural antibodies.
2. Sharpens: Naturally grateful people are more focused mentally and measurably less vulnerable to clinical depression.
3. Calms: A grateful state of mind induces a physiological state called resonance that's associated with healthier blood pressure and heart rate.
4. Strengthens: Caring for others is draining. But grateful caregivers are healthier and more capable than less grateful ones.
5. Heals: Recipients of donated organs who have the most grateful attitudes heal faster.

I leave you with a thought by Albert Clarke:
In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us happy.
