Gratitude

Gratitude means thankfulness, giving thanks to God, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you have been given. Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present. Giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress. "if the only prayer you say in your life is "thank you", that would suffice - Meister Eckhart
