If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything. This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything. "
― Alan Cohen
5 " Experience may be hard but we claim its gifts because they are real even though our feet bleed on its stones. "
