Gratitude means the quality of being thankful. Being thankful for all that we have in life is one of the keys to true happiness. It simply indicates that we are aware of our blessings, appreciate the small things and acknowledge all that we have. By recognizing all the wonderful things, we can show our appreciation and gratitude. We should remember that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognising and appreciating what we do have.
