“In the past, I used to think that it is fundamental and natural to have everything. But I realized that is not true. Instead I realized that those are things to be grateful for. After that realization, I became comfortable. Even if I don’t have it I am grateful. Such a realization also made me understand that is a way to love myself.” IfsThinkingWayMadePastUsedNaturalComfortableFundamentalsGratefulI RealizedRealizationBe GratefulI Am GratefulLove MyselfThings To Be Grateful Author:Goo Hye Sun
“Let me tell you what I do know: I am more than one thing, and not all of those things are good. The truth is complicated. It’s two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet. I used to think that if I dug deep enough to discover something sad and ugly, I’d know it was something true. Now I’m trying to dig deeper. I didn’t want to write these pages until there were no hard feelings, no sharp ones. I do not have that luxury. I am sad and angry and I want everyone to be alive again. I want more landmarks, less landmines. I want to be grateful but I’m having a hard time with it.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantWritingTryingTwoHardEnoughFeelingsUsedAliveOne ThingTruth IsPagesLet MeAngryGratefulUglyDeeperComplicatedLuxuryHard TimesBe GratefulVocalBittersweetLandmarksHaving A Hard TimeLandmines Author:Richard Siken
“And there was, in those Ipswich years, for me at least, a raw educational component; though I used to score well in academic tests, I seemed to know very little of how the world worked and was truly grateful for instruction, whether it was how to stroke a backhand, mix a martini, use a wallpaper steamer, or do the Twist. My wife, too, seemed willing to learn. Old as we must have looked to our children, we were still taking lessons, in how to be grown-up.” KnowsWorldYearsWellsChildrenLittlesStillsUseHappinessUsedWifeWillingLessonsTestsOur ChildrenGratefulEducationalMy WifeScoreInstructionAcademicStrokesComponentsTwistsMartiniWilling To Learn Book:Self-consciousness: memoirs Source: Self-consciousness: memoirs
“I used to do crazy things that people would bail me out of, and I'm just grateful that I survived. But the music got very lost; I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't really care.

“The church has long used the concept of sacraments--outward signs of inward grace--to name the spaces where God meets us in an especially present way. For many Christians, however, that language seems abstract, even (sadly) foreign. Dean Nelson lovingly explores those spaces of encountering God; his luminous book has helped me see anew the sacred in the ordinary. I am grateful.” WayLongBookSeemsChristianUsedNamesLanguageChurchSpaceGraceOrdinaryConceptsGratefulSacredAbstractInwardSacramentsDeanLuminousNelsonI Am Grateful Author:Lauren F. Winner
“My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months.

“... Everything we (the Grateful Dead) ever did was a demonstration of the value of cross-fertilization, It was unconscious at first, but when we started looking at each other, we had all these different influences...

“The other night I searched (the Web) for 'self-transforming elf machines.' There were 36 hits! It surprised me. I sort of use the search engine like an oracle. I've used the phrase for DMT, 'Arabian hyperspace.' So I thought of this, and then I searched it, 'Arabian hyperspace,' in quotes. And it took me right to a transcript of the talk in which I'd said the thing! You can find your own mind on the Internet.

“Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. Envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. It is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives.” PeoplePersonsUsedPerspectiveGratitudeGratefulEnvyCompareIronRealisingBe GratefulDispositionInabilityEnviousRust Author:Diogenes
