Gra�tude Gratitude is one of many positive emotions. It's about focusing on what's good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have.
Gratitude is pausing to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted, like having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, family, even computer access.
Being grateful has many benefits including; • The more grateful we are the happier we are • The more grateful we are the more energy we have • The more grateful you are the more likely you are to focus on positive things and • The more grateful you are the more likely you are to have empathy for others

What a Laugh! A kid from my neighbourhood found an antique treasure in a back alley behind the shops last week. It was dusty and dirty but he could tell it was valuable. He used his t-shirt to clean it, when KABOOSH, suddenly as he rubbed it, a huge exotic, purple genie with green silk pants appeared! In a gurgling voice it says, “What is your first wish?” The kid stops, absolutely stunned and finally stutters, “I wish I were rich!” The genie looked at him and a sly smile spread across his face and he replied, “It is done! What is your second wish, Rich?” Good jokes and good stories usually follow the same pattern. Plot the above joke on the story graph.
