What we’re about
We are the Gratitude Group. We meet with the intention of bringing enhanced well-being and reasons for gratitude into our lives.
If you would like to spend time with good people in a positive setting, let's meet up!
"Living in Gratitude", by Angeles Arrien is our shared reference. Each month we'll focus on the chapter of the book that corresponds to the month we are in. The book is not required; simply come as you are!
