Grief & Gratitude

While we cry
ourselves to sleep, gratitude waits patiently to console and reassure us;
there is a landscape larger
than the one we can see. Sarah Ban Breathnach

Thanking heaven
even for our difficulties
and misfortunes is the best way to transform them. You
will see your difficulties
in a different light, as
if you had wrapped them
in a film of pure
gold.Omraam Mikhael

Ironically, gratitude's

most powerful mysteries are often revealed
when we are struggling in the midst of

personal turmoil.
