From experience we know that whenever we are truly awake and alive, we are also truly grateful.

Joy is that kind of happiness that does not depend on what happens.

Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift.

If you learn to respond as if it’s the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.

Eyes see only light, ears hear only sound, but a listening heart perceives meaning.

Gratefulness is the gallantry of a heart ready to rise to the opportunity a given moment offers.

Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual.
