Joyful Gratitude
One exercise that I practice is to try for a full inventory of my blessings
and then for a right acceptance of the many gifts that are mine -- both
temporal and spiritual. Here I try to achieve a state of joyful gratitude.
When such a brand of gratitude is repeatedly affirmed and pondered,
it can finally displace the natural tendency to congratulate myself on
whatever progress I may have been enabled to make in some areas of living.

Thought to Ponder . . .
Gratitude is a tool, a form of perspective,
reminding me to appreciate the simple things.
