People often assume that if someone is giving thanks, it's because their life is easy and that they have nothing to be negative about. This is not the case at all. Those who practice gratitude understand that it's how you think about a situation, that makes it easier or more difficult.

As you practice gratitude, the focus shifts from what is lacking in life to the abundance that already exists. It is a matter of retraining the brain to see all the wonder and possibility that lies before us each day.

So.. what are you grateful for today?
