Abstract
Donnelly reflects on the importance of developing a sense of gratitude. Gratitude is a prominent theme during the holiday season, it starts with Thanksgiving, a celebration initiated by Pilgrims that included their American Indian neighbors. Thanksgiving holidays expanded the focus from celebrating bounty, friends and family to military victories, and deliverance from natural disaster. It is not surprising that a disposition toward gratitude yields positive psychological health effects. In a survey of 962 Swiss adults ranging in age from 19 to 84 years. Hill et al found that dispositional gratitude correlates positively with an individual's self-reported physical health and propensity to engage in healthy activities including seeking care for health problems. The 90-Day Gratitude Journal is a simple tool to help you focus on the realities and opportunities of gratitude events. This journal, available online, explains the need for and the benefits of practicing gratitude.
