Welcome to Gratitude Watch.- Gratitude Watch is an eye on the internet for news, articles, videos, and other items, all focusing on the subject of gratitude. For more on my intent on these postings, see About Gratitude Watch.
- So … let’s rock!

In “Why we need to appreciate America,” Kris at MySpace Videos shares a six minute clip from the 1970s television series Little House on the Prarie, where Russian immigrant Yuli Pyatakov (Theodore Bikel), who has lost his land but is thankful for what he still has, explains to Charles Ingalls (Michael Landon) and the town folk why America really is worth appreciating.
• From The “League of Gratitude” •
