“Happiness is not what makes us Grateful
It is Gratefulness that makes us Happy.”
Brother David Steindl Rast
Remember the story of the 10 lepers who came to Jesus to ask him to make them clean?
They all got cleansed, but out of 10, only 1 came back to give him thanks,
but 9 went away.
Thanks says a lot.
So, “Thanks Virily! Thanks people who I have come to know on line!”
You are all a blessing
Here is a very Happy White Eye in the photo, because he knows he is getting figs for a meal.
Thanks so much Tasartcraft, I know you do your very best..by doing every thing you can ..I am grateful for you!!!!!
What beautiful bird and quote Pam.
Thanks so much Carol, so pleased you like it
few things are as annoying as an ingrate. love the quote, BTW
Well, some who are ungrateful hurt themselves more…I always feel better when I remember the things to be thankful for.
Thanks Alex
you’ve hit the difference- gratitude is a better way of life, not only for the people in your life that you should be grateful to, but for yourself
ingratitude is a karmic self-fulfilling punishment
That certainly is very true, you are a wise soul
I hadn’t realized that until I read your reply…
Thank you, Pamela. I am very happy to meet you and now I am getting to know your beautiful country.
Thanks so much Vidocka, I don’t know why it took me so long to respond…but have a lot of notifications.
I understand, Pamela. No problem.
Wonderful picture of a bird … very nice quote … I am also happy to meet you, dear Pamela
Thanks so much Lado, glad you like it.
Great thoughts and wonderful picture! I agree.
Thanks so much Kim for your kind comments
We rear this bird before!!
And its the one we rear from baby!!
We should all learn to be grateful
Thanks so much Alibb, sorry I took so long to get to these responses…I am grateful for you…….
I see the White eye is in your country as well as New Zealand and I know they also live in Australia.
Perhaps they get caught in the wind!!!
