THE STORY
'One man"s 7-year battle with cancer yielded gratitude, a "thankful app" despite the hardships'
- Deseret News, November 25, 2013
The story behind 'thankful' is a very personal one for our family and friends. We created 'thankful' with our brother before his 7-year cancer battle ended. During his battle, he and his family wanted everyone to remember to be thankful for what is still good in the world, and to count all of the blessings we all have.
“Everybody has trials. Everybody has tragedies,” his wife says. “That’s why we come to this earth, and we came to a place where we realized we weren’t being picked on, that this was just the deal. …And so we found something that worked for us, and that was to count our blessings and to notice what was good. …It helped us be able to enjoy each other instead of being weighed down by all the fear, it helped lift us up.”
We hope that 'thankful' reminds you to be #thankful, and also helps you to remember all of the many blessings in your life - no matter how seemingly small.
We are always #thankful for our brother and our family, and we are absolutely #thankful for you!

IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
+ Numerous studies have linked counting one’s blessings to healthy and improved mental and physical health. Oprah Winfrey kept a gratitude journal for a full decade without fail — and urges you all to do the same. In Arianna Huffington’s book 'Thrive', Arianna writes about how gratitude exercises can have tangible benefits. She writes, “According to a study by researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Florida, having participants write down a list of positive events at the close of a day — and why the events made them happy — lowered their self-reported stress levels and gave them a greater sense of calm at night.”
