Gratitude Lifts Our Altitude and Attitude

In the book The Traveler's Gift, Anne Frank is quoted as saying, "Too many times I have offered up the prayers of a bigger, always asking for more and forgetting to give thanks. I do not wish to be seen as a greedy child, unappreciative and disrespectful. I am grateful for sight and sound and breath. If ever in my life there is a pouring out of blessings beyond that, then I will be grateful for the miracle of abundance.

I will greet each day with laughter. I will smile at every person I meet. I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.

Today I will choose to be happy."
