My husband has a mini chalkboard in our bedroom that his daughter gave him as a gift. The heading on the top says, “Today I am grateful for” with plenty of space underneath to write your thoughts of the day. Every time I notice it on the dresser, I can’t help but smile at the blessing he has written down. Just a simple thought that hopefully makes him smile all day – I know it does that for me. It also always reminds me to silently think a few thoughts that I am grateful for daily. Recently, I found a report that proved being grateful has positive health benefits as well. The report cited 5 Scientific Facts that we can do daily to incorporate gratitude into our lives. They are:
1) Write down what you’re grateful for
2) Even a single act of kindness can go a long way 3) It’s never to early to start practicing gratitude 4) Gratitude can boost a romantic relationship 5) Saying thank you is good for business Read the full report at

Happy autumn,
