"Gratitude goes beyond the 'mine' and 'thine' and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy." -
Henri Nouwen


I am grateful that I like to get silly sometimes : ) Laughing with friends or family over something silly helps me realize that laughter is a good medicine. I appreciate being able to be "goofy" sometimes!
