Gratitude, or as some prefer to call it, “grattitude,” is more than just a fleeting feeling—it’s a powerful attitude that shapes our perspective on life. At its core, gratitude is the acknowledgment of the good things in our lives, both big and small, and the recognition of the efforts and circumstances that contribute to our current situation. However, developing a habit of gratitude isn’t always easy; it requires conscious effort, introspection, and often, a deep understanding of life’s fleeting nature.

BUCHAREST, Aug 26 2010 (IPS) – Five newborns died last week in a fire caused by an airconditioning fault at a Bucharest maternity. Insufficient, overworked staff and deficient maintenance results of inadequate funding of the health system -were listed among the causes.
