What We Get from Giving Thanks
Giving our appreciation does not only feed the giver, it also feeds us. We feel lighter, happier, and more fulfilled. In giving thanks we ground that which we have received into our lives rather than overlooking it. We make it our own, and are thus able to utilize it completely. If we do not perceive or acknowledge what we receive, we do not completely allow it into our systems, and thus are not able to access it fully as a resource. Giving thanks makes the gifts we have received our own
