Thoughts on Gratitude

4 Asia 181 B. E.

Sometimes we are unable to give thanks because of the difficulties we encounter. At these times we need to look up and outside ourselves. We need to give thanks for being alive or for friends and family.

We don't have to be religious or spiritual to give thanks. I believe gratitude scatters the darkness of depression. It helps focus our attention on the joy of life.
