Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.
Jacques Maritain(gratefulness.org)
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Too Grateful to look down on anyone
“In our best moments,” writes Br. David in his alphabet of Gratefulness words, “humility is simply pride that is too grateful to look down on anyone.” This week, may you feel deep acceptance of who you are as an irreplaceable gem of a human being sharing with others this holy, humbling experience of life on Earth.
