"Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful. They tend to brighten all around them. They make others feel better about themselves. They tend to be more humble, more joyful, more likable... In the Book of Mormon we learn that we should "live in thanksgiving daily" (Alma 34:38)
... Can you imagine how your life would improve if you lived in thanksgiving daily?...
Gratitude turns a meal into a feast and drudgery into delight. It softens our grief and heightens our pleasure. It turns the simple and common into the memorable and transcendent. It forges bonds of love and fosters loyalty and admiration...Living in thanksgiving daily is a habit that will enrich our lives and the lives of those we love...Be grateful. Every day is a new canvas - a new opportunity." - Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Live in Thanksgiving Daily," Ensign, Sep 2001, 6.
