Dear Paul,

It's time to say goodbye and it's time to recall those beautifully days we spent together. You are the very person who give me a hand when necessary. You are the most considerate person who knows exactly that I need.

Did you still remember that night two years ago? When I suddenly fell in ill, it was you who carried me on your back to a nearby hospital. You took good care of us while I had an injection. Later, you managed help me with my lessons. With your help, I would have failed in the examination.

I still have hundreds of story to share with you and have thousands of blessings for you. May all your dreams coming true! May our friendship last till the end of the universe!

Yours,

Tom

    Those who are good at expressing gratitude often practice the following.

Don't avoid the negative.

Expressing gratitude may generate more optimism. 1. Emmons, a gratitude researcher and psychology professor at the University of California, says that while we often associate gratitude with focusing on the good and avoiding the bad, the key to leading a thankful life is embracing setbacks as part of your overall journey. Emmons suggests recalling a hard time you once experienced. Chances are that you'll start to feel grateful for your current state and overcoming former challenges.

Spend time with loved ones.

2. They make it a habit to spend time with those people who matter most. "Gratitude really helps us connect to other people," Emmons says. "It actually strengthens relationships and relationships are the strongest predictors of happiness and coping with stress."

3.

There's power in the small, ordinary moments, like catching the subway before the doors close or your pet greeting you happily when you get home. Look for a few things to add to your gratitude list.

Volunteer.

Everyone needs a little help sometimes and grateful people know there's no other way to acknowledge this than by actively doing something about it. In his book, Thanks! Emmons wrote, ” 4.” As research published in BMC Public Health points out, volunteering can result in lower feelings of depression and increased overall well-being.

Love yourself.

Grateful people know that their thankful attitude can also fuel self-compassion. A study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences found that higher levels of gratitude were associated with greater self-esteem. And it's no wonder: When your well-being is a priority, you can't help but feel great. Thankful for being the person that you are5.

A. Know the value of the little things.

B. Since service to others helped them to find their own inner spirituality, they were grateful for the opportunity to serve.

C. Help others appreciate the value of the little things.

D. However, thankful people also don't shy away from the negative.

E. That should be at the top of your gratitude list.

F. Thankful people know they didn't get to where they are by themselves.

G. Gratitude and fitness can go hand-in-hand.
