Today starts our month-long celebration of our Enduring Value, Gratitude. Ball State defines gratitude as our commitment to express appreciation to others and to demonstrate our gratitude through our actions. Margaret Cousins said, “Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.” 

Think about a time when someone expressed appreciation for you or your efforts. How did their words impact your day or perspective?
