Palms of My Hands

Gratitude is always linked to the idea of “gift.” It is a way of seeing that recognizes the gift. Hence, the most grateful people also turn out to be the most generous.

Personally, when it comes to determining my friendships with people, I put a high premium on gratitude. When I say “gratitude,” I don’t mean just a warm, pleasant feeling. I mean an ongoing attitude of thankfulness. I hope to express my gratitude to my friends. I am blessed to have a small circle of grateful friends. They are “gifts” in the truest sense of the word.
