As wonderful as it is to devote an entire day to celebrating gratitude, Thanksgiving shouldn’t be the only time we reflect on reasons to give thanks.

In fact, a growing body of research supports that daily doses of gratitude deliver marked ongoing benefits, ranging from improved mental and physical health to enhanced relationships, self-esteem and overall life satisfaction.
