gratitude

Eating with the fullest pleasure - pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance - is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate our dependence and our gratitude, for we are living from mystery, from creatures we did not make and powers we cannot comprehend.

The rewards of feeling a deep sense of gratitude are extraordinary. You will feel more joyful, more attractive, more vibrant, more satisfied, and more present to giving and receiving love.

I believe that its not what happens to you or for you that makes you grateful, it's how you respond to what is happening, that shows your belief about gratitude.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.  Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that you don't deserve what you want.

It is not what happens to you or for you that makes you grateful. It's how you respond to what is happening, that shows your belief about gratitude

Everything is a loan that is given as a gift.

Send 10—TEN!!—people flowers. Today. As "Thank yous" for good things "small"—or even large—done in the last two weeks.

"All we need to be happy is something to be enthusiastic about"

Living your life through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else; or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve. Living your life through Gratitude, is  seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it.
