Gratitude
goes beyond the "mine" and the "thine" and claims the truth
that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a
spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that
gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the
explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift
of love, a gift celebrated with joy.
