A gratitude habit generates countless reminders each and every day that you are amply wealthy in all the ways that matter most.
You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing, and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
G. K. Chesterton
Inevitably, you find yourself expressing gratitude not only for what is in your life, but what is yet to come.
We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.
Sacred ritual chant
With increasing frequency, you marvel that every breath you take is a direct gift from God.
Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows.
Alan Cohen
