Gratitude

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of the virtues, but the parent of all of the others.”—Marcus Tullius Cicerouture

I read an article the other day about a Joy Jar. In case my children are reading this–that’s what you are getting for Christmas. We all have so much to be thankful for. I have survived another year and I’m getting stronger. I am closer (mile wise) to most of my family and friends. I could go on, but the idea of the Joy Jar is to make a note anytime you think of it during the year for something for which you are grateful and put the note in the jar. At the end of the year read all of your notes. Gratitude makes you healthier, happier,and obnoxiously positive.
