I am grateful for hands to tickle with. Not so grateful for that process in reverse, however.

Gratitude is indeed medicine. It is the antidote for greed and misery.

You will never have enough until you are grateful for what you have.

Let gratitude saturate your heart for every good thing, both great and small, and then endure—oh, steadfastly endure—all else that remains.

It is easy to say I am thankful for the sweet and beautiful things in life: flower gardens, ice cream cones, diamond rings, dances under moonlight, children’s laughter, birdsongs, and the like. The challenge is recognizing things of value in the dark, sour, uglier parts of life. But if you look hard enough, you will find that even tough times offer pearls worthy of gratitude.

Find much to be grateful for in every day. Doing so will not only enrich your life, it will bless those around you in ways you may never know.
