Mary Ann Stephen Gratitude

Annotation

Powerful. Moving. Thought provoking. Gratitude rouses you to reflect on the beauty and the challenges in your life to see past the sweet fragrance and the prickly thorns of a rose to its essenceaEUR"to see the Divine in mountains, as well as in molehills. In just one hundred twenty motivating notations of ordinaryaEUR"and some extraordinaryaEUR"expressions of gratefulness, Stephen invites you to go on sojourns to relax into the sunshine of a new day, as well as the unexpected rain. Gratitude compels you to explore the way you move through a day and the way you perceive daily events from dawn to dusk, from the mundane to the exotic. Each movement and each thought that seeps or pops into your consciousness create choices. Gratitude inspires you to choose wisely, to choose gratitude over ungratefulness, empathy over indifference, and compassion over coldness.
