March 7: Living with Gratitude

Thank you!  A simple response to one’s generosity.  How many ordinary gifts do your receive in a day?  Somebody offers a “Have a great day?”.  A surprise visitor stops by and says, “Here are some cookies, I made a few extra so you could have a treat”., Or someone simply, clears the dinner table. All of these prompt a thank you.  In addition to being a good social skill, gratitude helps us become more resistant to stressors. Anne Kertz Kernion will share research that indicates gratitude helps us become more resistant to stressors.  If we have a grateful outlook, then we’ll recover more quickly from difficult life events, and we’ll lessen our anxiety.  Anne will guide the listener in practices of gratitude.
