Thankful For Huntington First Aid Squad: 30 Days Of Gratitude

HUNTINGTON, NY — All month, Patch is asking readers to share who they're grateful for. M. Greene, of Huntington Station, wanted to thank the volunteers at the Huntington Community First Aid Squad.

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.
