Thankful For Northport's Shipwreck Diner: 30 Days Of Gratitude

NORTHPORT, NY — All month, Patch is asking readers to share who they're grateful for. John M. McAdam, of East Northport, thanked Tim and Janet of Tim's Shipwreck Diner in Northport.

Here is the message he shared:

"Shipwreck Diner, thank you so much Tim and Janet for serving all of us with your fantastic diner and the contributions you make our community!!"

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.
