AA Thought for the Day

December 31, 2005

Gratitude

One exercise that I practice is to try for a full inventory
of my blessings and then for a right acceptance
of the many gifts that are mine --
both temporal and spiritual.
Here I try to achieve a state of joyful gratitude. . .
I try to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart
cannot entertain great conceits.
When brimming with gratitude,
one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love,
the finest emotion that we can ever know.
