An Ode to Gratitude
When I asked my six-year-old son what he was thankful for, he didn’t hesitate. He delivered a full, unfiltered list—from the people he loves to the building he doesn’t. His natural wisdom was a powerful reminder of how we often overcomplicate gratitude. Science confirms its profound benefits, from better sleep to a healthier heart, but the practice itself is beautifully simple. Inspired by his honesty, I’ve listed 12 things that I’m grateful for with small stories of thanks, and prompts to help you rediscover the abundance already woven into your days. Let’s practice gratitude together.
