“Gratitude is a kind of meta-strategy for achieving happiness. It is wonder; it is appreciation; it is looking on the bright side of a setback; it is fathoming abundance; it is thanking someone in your life; it is thanking God; it is ‘counting blessings.’ It is savoring; it is not taking things for granted; it is coping; it is present-oriented.” – Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness
