Thoughts on Gratitude
While we cry ourselves to sleep,
gratitude waits patiently to console and reassure us;
there is a landscape larger than the one we can see.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
*
Darkness deserves gratitude.
It is the alleluia point at which we learn to understand
that all growth does not take place in the sunlight.
Joan Chittister, Uncommon Gratitude
*
To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,
to enact gratitude is generous and noble,
but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.
Johannes A. Gaertner
*
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.
Marcel Proust
