Attitude of Gratitude

Head over to The Sphinx and The Milky Way and read this beautiful piece on gratitude. It made me cry.

"I think a lot about gratitude. It’s easy for us to have it when we are doing something that brings us great joy, or comfort: when we are with a friend who make us laugh, when we receive good news that alleviates worry, when we are in the presence and beauty of nature. But, what about all the other times, times that are challenging, and full of more difficult feelings like pain and sadness. And even times when the unthinkable happens, like when the person we love most in our life dies.


It leaves me wondering - Do we abandon gratitude during the times when we might need it the most?"
