  Gratitude is one of many positive emotions. It's about  focusing on what's good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have . Gratitude is pausing to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted, like having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, family, even computer access. The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia , which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness.

She was very happy and enjoying the activities that we were doing together. But after a week what I faced was complete exhaustion. I would be so exhausted by the end of the day that I couldn’t plan her next days activities or would forget to buy the craft material that we would need and things started getting messy.
