Gratitude helps us love well by keeping us focused on the beauty in our relationship and the person we love.

Eating healthy and exercising won't help you if it's only temporary.

As any gardener will tell you, the cycles of nature require patience...Even a fast-growing vegetable like a radish requires time.

Take a deep breath and think of the three things you are grateful for, right in this moment.

At each level of gratitude our soul's capacity deepens, starting with contentment to meaningfulness, and finally, to pure joy.

Like so many other positive acts, it turns out that hugging boosts our immune system. Plus it just plain feels good! So hug someone today, perhaps a person who seems particularly in need.

In the moments we are awake to the wonder of simply being alive, gratitude flows, no matter our circumstances.
