'Thank you power' is writing down the moments that are good in your life so that you can go back and reflect on them - so you've got this sort of repository of good stuff in your past.

Grateful people may recover faster from trauma.

There are days-depression is a part of it-when if all you do is get dressed, take a shower and put on your makeup, then it is a good day. Your goals have to be much lower. But if you take one tiny little step, then you can take another and another.

A thankful outlook smoothes the rough edges off life.

If I have time to exercise, I do it, but I don't fixate on numbers like weight or waist size. Numbers don't work for me.

I think our job as parents is to give our kids roots to grow and wings to fly.
