"There is a quote by Thornton Wilder that states, “We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” This really struck a chord with me as Thanksgiving Day approaches later this week. It makes me reflect on the rest of the year, the 364 days we take everything for granted. The thing I like about what Wilder is saying is that if we are not aware of our gratitude, it makes life not worthwhile because we end up going through life not fully enjoying what we have. Superficial appreciation I view daily is not what he is talking about. He means to really look to your heart and be grateful on a deep level...."
Thank you Gaby.
