Choose to be Grateful.

Choose to be Grateful.

After reading this article by Arthur C. Brooks, I took a moment to actually think about the things in my life that I am grateful for. Similar to Brooks, the first thing that came to mind was my family and friends. I agree with Brooks in regards to people learning how to be naturally grateful. I think that the  only time people talk about things they are grateful for is during Thanksgiving, which is disappointing.  I think people should talk about the simple things they are grateful for every day and I also think that people should show their appreciation to everyone around them every day. Instead of talking about the things we are thankful for at the Thanksgiving table, we should talk about the simple things we are thankful for all year round.
