Here's a practice for dealing with envy...each time you find yourself envious of someone...ask yourself, "What is there that I am noticing in the other person that I want to find in myself?"...If it's money, is it the freedom? The cance to play that money buys? A sense of security? Whatever it is-more play, a sense of security, free time-you can work on getting more of it in your life, no matter what the circumstances.

Gratitude helps us love well by keeping us focused on the beauty in our relationship and the person we love.

Gratitude is a feeling of fullness, a recognition of the heart of what we are receiving in this moment.

Gratitude helps us to return to our natural state of joyfulness, where we notice what's right instead of what's wrong. It makes us feel complete, that we have everything we need, at least in this moment.

In the moments we are awake to the wonder of simply being alive, gratitude flows, no matter our circumstances.

The choice is ours, in every moment.

Gratitude is the antidote to bitterness and resentment.
