"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth."
~Sarah Ban Breathnach~
I am on speaking terms with happiness. I just need to shut up a little more so that happiness has a chance to speak!!

The man without gratitude will never be given more of anything except misery.

You are so right. And so eloquent. It concerns me that gratitude seems to be lost in our culture. My earliest memories are of my parents drilling into me to be grateful and to show it. Do you think fewer parents are teaching that these days? Thank you!
