Gratitude is a powerful, unsung hero of our biology. I call it Vitamin G.

It’s free. It’s real. And it changes everything.

We should be thankful for who we have in our lives — parents, kids, friends, our dogs, cats, and anyone who brings light. But if we feel alone, we can flip the script: check in on an elderly neighbor, reach out to someone sick, or offer a kind word to someone who’s struggling.

That’s how we expand the universe of goodness. That’s how we build Vitamin G — not just for ourselves, but for others.

Gratitude isn’t passive. It’s a building block. It’s a choice. And it’s always available.
