Gratitude Practice - Part 2

 Gratitude Practice - Part two

Today I am grateful for and appreciate the significance of today's session for promoting wellbeing and positivity in one's life at this time of the COVID 19 pandemic. I acknowledge and recognize the value to Malton - Bazm-e-Khawateen for providing this platform. This session was hosted and coordinated by Gulnaz Rehan and facilitated by Arshi Ali (registered psychotherapist, qualifying). Today's session was the sequel of the last session. I realize the importance of today's session for many reasons, for instance:
