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

We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart.

"The root of joy is gratefulness."

Love is saying yes to belonging.

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.

One can learn to focus on "opportunity" as the gift within every given moment. This attitude towards life always improves the situation. Even in times of sickness, someone who habitually practices grateful living will look for the opportunity that a given moment offers and use it creatively.

...our happiness hinges not on good luck; it hinges on peace of heart.
