Thanksgiving 2016

"[W]e can actively choose to practice gratitude — and doing so raises our happiness. This is not just self-improvement hokum."

Even in the teeth of really bad luck, you have blessings that you could pluck out of the messy circumstances and focus on. It could build the foundation for your happiness.

If you don't feel like being grateful, look for a reason to be just a speck grateful. There are probably pockets of beauty around you somewhere. Look for them. It's not in-authentic to try to be thankful;  it's actually rebellion against the negative, it's asserting your will against the circumstance.

If you still think you have nothing on Thanksgiving to thank God for, take this advice and "pan for gold."
