I am going to mix it up a bit, I am going to put the definition and then some quotes.
"An emotion of the heart, excited by a favor or benefit received; a
sentiment of kindness or good will towards a benefactor; thankfulness.
Gratitude is an agreeable emotion, consisting in or accompanied with
good will to a benefactor,and a disposition to make a suitable return of
benefits or services, or when no return can be made, with a desire to
see the benefactor prosperous and happy. Gratitude is a virtue of the
highest excellence, as it implies a feeling and generous heart, and a
proper sense of duty."
~Noah Websters 1828 Dictionary
Gratitude
unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and
more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to
clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a
stranger into a friend.
~Melody Beattie
Gratitude
bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those
transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life
and the world.
John Milton
