A Letter of Gratitude

​

Positive psychology has illustrated how expressing gratitude, such as through daily lists or giving thanks, can increase overall feelings of happiness and satisfaction. I show gratitude in my everyday life in different ways, and I would like to conclude this summer in the same way.
