November News

November is a great time to be thankful.  But you can practice gratitude all year round. Gratitude is taking time to notice and appreciate the good things in your life.  Gratitude can make people happier, increase self-esteem, decrease depression, and help you sleep better.  Try gratitude at meal times, at bedtime, in the morning, or when you feel down or stressed.  You can use a journal, an app on your phone, share with a friend or family member, or just reflect by yourself.  Ask yourself, what blessings do I take for granted?  Who am I thankful for?  Has something good happened to me today?  Give gratitude a try.
