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.

At any moment the fully present mind can shatter time and burst into Now.

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

The hope that is left after all your hopes are gone - that is pure hope, rooted in the heart.

Love is saying yes to belonging.

Grateful living makes life meaningful and full of joy.

Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefullness, and gratefullness is a measure of our aliveness.
