In making us appreciate the value of things and people, gratitude not only empowers us to see the glass as half-full, but also prevents the half-full from leaking away. As we stop to notice that we are constantly getting more, the glass gets more and more full – a concept often overlooked since we tend to forget our previous gains. Today, we note that things are not lost, but simply, forgotten. As such, we must remember them with gratitude.
