"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more." - David Steindl-Rast


I am grateful that I have the desire to follow through with any commitment I make to others. My parents instilled this in me when I was young. They told me "If you tell a person that you are going to do something then you do it." I have had my share of times when I didn't want to finish but knew it was the right thing to do. I appreciate this because it gives me a feeling of accomplishment for a job done well.
