Gratitude

Gratitude makes life better.jpg

This month, our pack meetings are focused on gratitude.

I have to be honest, it sounds a little cheesy to me. Not that there is anything wrong with cheesy, but not when people are facing real, difficult issues in their lives.

But, here’s the thing. There is a lot of really good science on how gratitude can improve your life. It even has physical health benefits. Science suggests that it helps people to live longer, and have fewer illnesses and health complaints!

Holy smokes! Not so cheesy after all.

Check out the Greater Good Science Center out of Berkeley, a big name university in California, for lots of good information.

Another great resource is gratefulness.org. It has lots of information, and great ways to practice gratitude in your life.

And shutterfly has a great list of 50 gratitude quotes to check out.

Sounds like we should all give some thought to the things we can be grateful for in our lives.

If you are a resident at Ruby Hill, come to your Pack Meeting for more information, and some great activities and resources.

Welcome to the Pack Blog!

We’re so excited to get our webpage up here at the Rowdy Foundation! In store for you here at the Pack Journal, get the heads up on what’s coming up at your Pack Meetings, get more info on the science and themes we discuss, get updates on foundation activity at your building, and help us build a strong sense of community.

As part of building community, one of the things we would like to encourage here at the Pack Journal is a tradition of community posts. There is a form available to submit a post for review. This space isn’t just for foundation employees to talk to you, it is a place for all of us to talk to each other. We want to see posts about what is working in your life, your passions, your interests, your tips and tricks, your joys, and your successes, be they large or small.

We look forward to hearing from you, and sharing some of the resources and information we run across. Together, we can build something really powerful and special!
