GRATITUDE IS GOOD FOR YOU
Everyone knows it’s good to be grateful, but did you know being grateful is good for you? Studies show that grateful people benefit from better health, more optimism, less stress and even experience fewer episodes of clinical depression. With this knowledge, we created Grateful Nation, an interactive community that gives grateful people the opportunity and resources to connect, give back, and be thankful. Hopefully, one thanks will lead to another, and we’ll create an unending positive cycle of gratitude.

The first week of every month, Paul will be conducting an auction to raise money for a health care cause. The December auction will support the Sydney Borum Jr. Health Center.
Located at 130 Boylston St, across from the Boston Common, the Sidney Borum Jr. Health Center opened in 1994 to serve the health care needs of homeless youth and young adults, many of whom engage in unsafe sex with adults in exchange for money, food or a place to sleep.
The Borum provides primary medical care as well as mental health and substance abuse counseling, HIV counseling, testing and risk reduction reinforcement, as well as other clinical and social services. Its primary focus is on young people who have been unable to gain acceptance in more traditional health care settings for a variety of reasons, including homelessness and involvement in street life and the sex industry.
Through the online auction on this blog, The Borum seeks support for its linen service and grooming/hygiene products that help patients live with the dignity they deserve.
Please donate items at any time and check the blog for the latest auction details, as well as news, information, and commentary on hospital and health care issues.
If you participated in our November auction, thank you! Winners will be notified soon.
