What exactly is gratitude? Gratitude is the act of being thankful, showing appreciation and returning kindness. As the year slowly comes to an end, this is a great time to do a little self-reflection and think about the things or people in your life that you are truly thankful for. I always tell myself that no matter how hard or bad things seem there is always someone who has it worse. I really try to be thankful and show kindness every day. We are challenging you to show some gratitude as a part of our Challenge Accepted Series.

Why is showing gratitude important? Showing gratitude helps to strengthen your relationships with your family, friends and acquaintances. It also builds character and improves your mental health.
