Gratitude is an expression of appreciation for what one has, it is a recognition of value independent of monetary worth. Although gratitude is a spontaneous feeling its value is also demonstrated as a practice of making a conscious effort to be grateful for what you have. Studies show that in doing so there are social and personal benefits. It can promote the ability to be present in the here and now as opposed to dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
