“Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.”~Rumi
People can often feel awkward expressing gratitude. However, being able to say thank you to others nicely is a strong social skill, a skill that is well worth cultivating, a skill you need. We simply have to let go of our primal need for control, and surrender to the higher intelligence that is guiding, determining, and providing for everything. It takes desire, commitment, and work to develop a sense of gratitude.
