14 Gratitude Is A Choice & My Gratitude List

Because this episode lands on Thanksgiving day, I thought what better topic to talk about other than gratitude. 

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness.

Gratitude is a practice. 

Gratitude is a choice. 

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”    – William Arthur Ward

What are you most thankful for? Tag me with your gratitudes @mslucyliu 

I’m here with the most grateful heart.

Be blessed and well this week and always.

P.S. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. If you feel gratitude towards someone, make their day, express it to them.
