"Gratitude, which we define as a felt sense of wonder, thankfulness, and appreciation for life, is not something to be just practiced in good times. …."Abraham Maslow described it as the capacity to "appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of lie with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy, however stale these experiences may have become to others" ~ Living Life As a Thank You by Lesowitch & Sammons
