Community Alliance Positive Impact: Expressions of Gratitude
At Community Alliance, we are constantly encouraging everyone to practice positivity. That’s because gratitude is far more than making a habit of cursory “thank-you notes” – it’s a lifestyle – and it has the power to change the way we look at the world. According to the National Institutes of Health, gratitude is good medicine, and it’s been proven to significantly improve mental and physical health.
