Thankful For Huntington Station Neighbors: 30 Days Of Gratitude

HUNTINGTON, NY — All month, Patch is asking readers to share who they're grateful for. Jerrilyn Foster-Julian thanked her neighbors in Huntington Station.

Here's the message she shared:

"I am so grateful for my neighbors in our court. They are always there to help each other. They are kind, caring and thoughtful."

Living with gratitude goes beyond merely being thankful. It doesn't mean pretending bad things don't happen, but rather savoring the goodness, according to experts on the topic, including Robert Emmons, a Unviersity of California, Davis, psychology professor who is known as the "father of gratitude."

Patch will continue publishing stories like this one for "30 Days Of Gratitude," a series to remind us of the goodness and joy in our lives. We want to share the gratitude as widely as we can, and invite you to fill out the form below to show thanks for someone in your life.
