We invite you to fill out the form below and write a letter of thanks to a person, group or thing that makes life in Laguna Beach better.

Emmons, a University of California, Davis, psychology professor known as the "father of gratitude," said this of gratitude: "Gratitude is an affirmation of the goodness in one's life and the recognition that the sources of this goodness lie at least partially outside the self. It emerges from two stages of information processing: affirming and recognizing. Gratitude is the recognition that life owes me nothing and all the good I have is a gift. It is a response to all that has been given. So it is foundationally and fundamentally a way of looking at life."
