In Workshop Two, Assignment 2.2, you were to write a letter of gratitude to a living person and then personally deliver it to them by means of face-to-face contact, a phone call, or a virtual contact, such as Facetime or Google Hangouts. The goal was to help you experientially see the power of gratitude from both perspectives: giving it to another person and seeing how it is received. That power behind gratitude is why it is considered one of the pillar concepts of positive psychology. Get your assignment done Now!
In this discussion, you will share your experience with the class: how writing, delivering, and responding to this exercise in gratitude has affected you.
