Nice article, SFC Stephen King, especially for a day like this -- Thanksgiving!! And we Americans have so much to be grateful for. Funny how we often focus more on what we don't have and overlook all that we do have, and not just material things, obviously. I think being in the military and seeing other cultures and countries - where they don't even have what we consider the basics - helped me be a much more grateful person. Thanks for sharing this. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Gratitude and thankfulness are imperatives to accepting the vicissitudes of life.

I think that gratitude can help increase optimism by being grateful for what you have been blessed with, and nt worrying about the unnecessary things that you may not have. If we truly are grateful, then we must have the inherent insight to see the good in people.
