“Gratefulness”
“The root of joy is gratefulness. It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.” – David Stendl-Rast.
- “The thankful are happy because gratitude is the mother of joy.”-Father Soc.
Honestly, I never found the connection between gratefulness and joy a surprise...perhaps its because in all of life's surprises one cannot be found without the other ....lovely, isn't it?
