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.

Any place is sacred ground, for it can become a place of encounter with the divine Presence.

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

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

Blessing is the lifeblood throbbing through the universe.

Each string of a wind harp responds with a different note to the same breeze. What activity makes you personally resonate most strongly, most deeply?

Gratefulness is not just saying "thank you." It's acting. It is being yourself. A mother is grateful, shows gratefulness by mothering, a scientist by doing science.
