The earthly latitude of your gratitude shows the heavenly altitude of your attitude.

THANKSGIVING Gratefulness is feeling blessed, / But thankgiving is "thanks" expressed. / We validate the attitude / By speaking forth our gratitude. --- DLH (Thanksgiving Day, 2011)

Poor atheist on Thanksgiving Day . . . all dressed up with NO ONE to thank!

Gratitude is not in words, but in the heart, which expresses it.

Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.

Be thankful for your allotment in an imperfect world.  Though better circumstances can be imagined, far worse are nearer misses than you probably care to realize.
