"To be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be grateful for all of our lives- the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the rewards as well as the rejections- that requires hard spiritual work"
Henri Nouwen
Today on this first day of gratitude, I realize that all of life, not just the parts I choose, go into my formation. I am grateful that, with an investment in the work of gratitude for these 30 days, I can look forward to an altered heart and rejuvenated spirit.
