What we express gratitude for grows in significance and power in our lives. From the introduction:
Living with gratitude is, I’ve learned, a matter of paying attention, of surrender. As Len Soucy said in our interview, it requires conscientious effort to try. It is a philosophy of life, a spiritual practice. It should be easy. I think it may be for some people. For me though it has required effort. I learned that by watching people who seem happy, particularly older people, and particularly one woman in her nineties . . .
Gratitude and happiness in life seem to go together. When you find one, you tend to find the other. And it is, generally speaking, a deliberate choice. If we have reasonable health and enough to eat and a roof over our heads, there are life-changing rewards to be found in shifting our focus to the beauty and mystery that surrounds.
Part of my gratitude practice has been the accumulation of favorite quotes on the subject. They are kind of a savings reserve against hard times -- times of discouragement or frustration. I share them with you in the hopes that they might add to your life what they have to mine.
