The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

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.

What brings fulfillment is gratefulness, the simple response of our heart to this life in all its fullness.

One single gift acknowledged in gratefulness has the power to dissolve the ties of our alienation.

Any change in attitude changes the way one sees the world, and this in turn changes the way one acts.

"The Holy Spirit . . . wants to flow through us and realize all these wonderful possibilities in the world - if we only open ourselves and allow it to happen."

Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.
