Gratitude ≠ Happiness
Gratitude is not a shortcut to feeling good. It is the steadying practice of noticing what still supports us when life is uncertain—shifting attention from what is missing to what is working, not to erase pain but to balance it. Approached this way, gratitude helps regulate emotions, builds resilience by giving the nervous system a sense of safety, and deepens connection as appreciation strengthens our bonds. Often, it grows strongest in seasons of loss or ambiguity, by acknowledging the people, practices, and pockets of steadiness that hold us together.

“Professional but also calm and low pressure.”
Highly recommend Dave Futch! Professional but also calm and low pressure. He also saved us thousands well after we had bought our home and weren’t sure whether we were still under warranty for termite treatment.
