Being grateful is a recognition of value generated from within. It helps to refocus on what we have instead of what we lack. According to UC Davis psychologist Robert Emmons, research shows that simply keeping a gratitude journal—regularly writing brief reflections on moments for which we’re thankful—can significantly increase well-being and life satisfaction. People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect upon the things they're thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems. As we prepare to celebrate being thankful, let's take time to notice the simple things we can be grateful for today.  ~ Debbie Muthersbaugh, dean
