WHAT IS GRATITUDE Do you know which two words are so powerful they can make you feel happier just by saying them These two words are thank you We say thank you when someone does something kind or helpful Saying thank you is one way to show gratitude Gratitude is being aware of and thankful for the people experiences and things in our lives These words show that we feel grateful for what they have done Feeling grateful is also feeling happy about something good that has happened We can show gratitude by saying thank you or by doing something nice for someone 4
Gratitude is an attitude or way of thinking that everyone can learn Like learning anything new it takes time and practice Gratitude changes the way you see the world It can help you at home in school and other areas of your life People who show gratitude are thankful for the everyday things and experiences in their lives 5
