With the holiday season fast approaching, it is a great time to talk about gratitude and how important it is to have a joyful life. Making gratitude a part of your life, just like breathing, is such a huge help if you are searching for joy. But you can't just conjure up a life lived in gratitude.

Today's 'Think Joy Thursday' explores ways to do this and even offers some helpful hints to make joy a habit in your life.
