The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present...gratefully.

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.

Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than they need.

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation of favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
