"Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation; you do not find it among gross people." - Samuel Johnson


I am grateful when I look for the good in every situation. I admit that I don't always see it but when I do I can see a "silver lining" in the individual storm clouds of life. I guess I think of the "good" being the shelter that we find after we have been out in the rain. It may only shelter us for a short time but helps us to dry out and then continue on. Recognizing that good in any situation helps to strengthen our gratitude.
