"Gratitude is the life giver of every relationship. 
It’s what keeps it fresh and vitalized. 
Ingratitude is the destroyer of many relationships. 

-Don Ginn

 

Let's take care to keep gratitude alive in our hearts and bountiful within all our relationships.   

Besides people, consider how we are in relationship with our homes, food, clothing, water, air, our breath, sight, hearing, taste, smell, sleep, health, nature, pets, hobbies...the list is endless.  

The more we experience and express appreciation for all the people and creatures we value and all the things that shelter, sustain, and support us, the more enriched and joyful our lives will be. 

May love and wisdom guide us toward sustaining sincere and strong gratitude for everyone and everything, especially for life itself, and show it.  

With enthusiasm,

One thing that keeps gratitude strong and sincere is focusing on the positive - what is working, what is right, what is good, what got done rather than what's not working, what's wrong, what's not good enough, and what didn't get accomplished - the negative.
