The word gratitude comes from the Latin word gratis. According to senior editor, Dr. Michael Craig Miller, with Harvard Health Publishing, “Depending on the context gratitude means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness. In some ways, gratitude encompasses all these meanings. It is an appreciation for all that one receives. Gratitude helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. By acknowledging the goodness in their lives, expressing gratitude often helps people recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves.”

If you believe it, then embrace it today, this month, and forever!
