Gratitude. Several years ago Gratitude Journals became all the rage. At the end of each day you were to jot down three to five things that you were grateful for. In fact, research shows that people who embrace gratitude are happier. It is so easy to overlook the blessings in your life, because they are always there. Taking them for granted becomes a way of life. Gratitude is replaced with longing. Rather than spend your days focusing on what you don't have, spend it being thankful for those things you do have. I like the words of author Brene Brown, "I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness- it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude."
