Gratitude indeed goes a long way.
The last I do before going to sleep, and the first thing I do upon waking up, is to thank God for all of my gifts and blessings. This practice helps me keep things in perspective and starts my day on a positive note.
Additionally, I make a conscious effort to express gratitude to those who have positively influenced my life. Expressing thanks for what they have done not only acknowledges their good deeds but also reassures them that their actions did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. This, in turn, encourages them to continue their good work.
Start your day off by giving thanks, for this is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
