Gratitude as an expressive activity 'excites life' - it's more than just acknowledging thanks, it's a state of being that appreciates all that is good and welcomed in our life. With a focus and attention on gratitude each day, it heightens a sense of energy that could be thought of as aliveness. Gratitude is more than intellectual exercise. It is much more than an obligation. Expressing appreciation involves both an expressive action and an inner attitude. Gratitude appreciates from the mind through intentional thought that recognizes the richness of our emotional connections with others, and all good things in our lives.
