We all know that we have plenty of things to be grateful for.  But how often do we slow down enough to discover just how much we really have?

Taking the time to "count your blessings" isn't just about appreciating life.  Research shows that choosing gratitude actually improves every aspect of your well-being. 

Gratitude changes your life.
