Hi Zeus - what a lovely post. Yes I think appreciation & gratitude are so central. And it can take the shock of BD for us to really start appreciating what was right under our noses the whole time - but 'life' gets in the way. I also think our advertising culture is an aspect - you'll be happier if you are prettier, look younger, are thin, have more money, have more stuff....and so on.

But people can have all of that and feel quite empty. Then there are people who have little of that and yet feel quite full...

Have a great weekend my friend x

We receive & we lose, and must try to achieve gratitude & embrace with whole hearts whatever of life that remains after the losses - Dubus
