The Power of Gratitude

How naming that for which you are thankful reduces stress and increases peace, hope, and joy.

I’m forcing myself not to watch. You know how hard it is to look away when something violent or unseemly is happening on TV. That is kind of how it feels to watch “the news” right now. But I’m really trying not to look.

It is not just watching cable or network television coverage of politics. Twitter is downright hostile. I don’t scroll Facebook much, but I understand the atmosphere there is tense, too.
