Thanksgiving

Here in the United States, we are celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday today, a time to gather with family and friends and reflect on the blessings in one's life.  There is much research suggesting that an "attitude of gratitude" is beneficial to one's mental and physical health and may even lead to more peaceful outcomes by enhancing empathy and reducing aggressiveness.  So whether you are in the United States or not, may you take time today to reflect on and give thanks for the good in your life, whether that be family, friends, food, shelter, a job, or whatever makes you happy.
