In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it’s wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.
Elizabeth Gilbert from her book: EAT, PRAY, LOVE: One Woman’s Search For Everything
REFLECTION:
Who do you need to thank?
How will you thank them? Call, write a note, visit in person, leave a message?
Gratitude is always appreciated… thank someone today.
While it’s tempting to view our days as an amusement park with unlimited rides, that’s not really true. It might not maximize our impact or enjoyment either. In fact, we each have a limited number of tickets to trade in. Limited time, limited opportunities, limited money and other resources. How will you spend today’s tickets?
