There are many life lessons that can benefit us, but I believe that being grateful is one of the most important.

Some people are not happy with anything. Instead of being satisfied, they find fault with just about everything. In my opinion, ungrateful people tend to be bitter, jealous, just down right miserable people!

I have always focused on what I have, not what I lack. Never been a materialistic kind of girl (although I do like Madonna’s song) and have always appreciated what I have.

I think it’s important to acknowledge gratitude. I believe by doing so relationships can be strengthened.

There are many benefits for being an appreciative person such as added happiness, improved sleep and reduced stress.
