Gratitude-Not Just For Today.

Gratitude-Not Just For Today.

Gratitude This one single word changes our entire life. Everyone talks gratitude this time of year. It’s the holiday to be “thankful”. I think it is wonderful that there is a special reminder to take time out of our day to count our blessings. I am not discounting the...
