The things that people were the most grateful for were the ordinary things in life. The sound of your spouse__ laugh, the smell of morning coffee, the echo of children playing in the yard. The little things. In waiting for the big moments__he vacations, the retirements, the birthdays__e risk missing the experiences of life most worthy of celebrating.

The number one joy indicator, the one thing that will predict whether someone feels joy in their life or not, is the practice of gratitude.
