Good morning!  The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology conducted a three-week study where researchers found that participants who wrote a list of up to five things they were grateful for each day were not only happier and more satisfied with life, but also got more sleep and felt more refreshed when they awoke each morning than people who didn't.

Your Turn: Have you been keeping up with a gratitude journal? If not, renew your commitment today. If so, take some time today and scan the pages, realizing all the blessings life has given you.

Affirmation: I express my thankfulness daily through word and action.


Your affirmation: I am courageous.
