A sense of gratitude

Tracey has been telling us about her renewed discovery of a sense of gratitude. For example, the day she left the hospital she turned to the nurse and said: "I have never been so grateful for the breeze on my face." Facing your own mortality certainly can highlight how precious life is and forces you not to waste any of it.

I have listened to Tracey and have been looking at things with an increased sense of gratitude. The other morning I was very lucky to glance up and see a sky full of stars. And this morning, after last nights severe weather, the moon was up, clear and bright … I am grateful for having a chance to see all these wonderful things!
