Blessings to All, Anna"I try for a full inventory of my blessings and then for a right acceptanceof the many gifts that are mine -- both temporal and spiritual. Here I tryto achieve a state of joyful gratitude. . . I try hard to hold fast to thetruth that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits. Whenbrimming with gratitude, one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoinglove, the finest emotion that we can ever know."Bill W., March 1962 - The Language of the Heart, p. 271 "Happy people are the ones who are grateful for what they have and whatthey are. Miserable and depressed people don't know how to say thank you.The more you have, the more grateful you can be. Start off by saying thankyou to yourself; appreciate how far you have come and what you haveachieved. It could be a lot worse. Giving thanks and appreciation opensmany doors. Be grateful even for mistakes and conflicts, because these giveyou the opportunity to learn and grow. Give and you receive. Remember lasttime you gave something with love? Was it not really receiving?" Gudrun Kretschman (non-DA approved) "The greatest thing is to give thanks for everything. He who has learnedthis knows what it means to live. He has penetrated the whole mystery oflife: giving thanks for everything." Albert Schweitzer (non-DA approved) "Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind andhappiness inside. No matter what's going on outside, there's alwayssomething we can be grateful for."
