Health Benefits of Gratitude
What would happen if we extended the tradition of giving thanks, typically celebrated just once a year during the holiday season, throughout the entire year? Research tells us that such gratitude would be rewarded with better health. Grateful people are better at managing stress which is a leading cause of many fatal diseases including heart disease and cancer. Grateful people also tend to be more optimistic, a characteristic which researchers say boost the immune system. So how can you practice an attitude of gratitude? 1. Maintain a gratitude journal. Research shows that people who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis exercise more regularly, report fewer physical symptoms, feel better about their lives as a whole, and maintain greater optimism about the future. 2. Say thank-you more often. The more you appreciate and not take for granted the little things that others do for you each day the more sense of happiness and well-being you will feel. And the more others will enjoy being around you. To help you practice expressing your gratitude please stop and write on our thankful poster on the exercise room window. Happy Thanks-giving!

They have both been coming to the senior center for about a year. Marlene really enjoys puzzles, bingo, tying quilts, creating & designing posters for raffles & events and just being around friends here at the senior center. Her favorite hobbies are making reborn dolls, puzzles, cutting out & painting wood, embroidery, knitting & crocheting.
