That's the great question: Who sees the miracles of daily life? And the answer is: Whoever chooses to see.

Most people, like the Israelites, complain far more often than they express gratitude. People frequently register a complaint with a manufacturer or service provider, but they rarely write a note of thanks for a job well done. We would all do well to consider writing a thank you note each time we write a letter of complaint. Similarly, and more importantly, too many people criticize their spouses more often than they compliment them. That is the road to an unhappy marriage.

Expectations Undermine Gratitude, the Key to Happiness

Gratitude must be constantly fed (unlike resentment, which lives on naturally), and physical reminders are essential.

Given my view that tragedy is normal, I try to be happy unless something happens that makes me unhappy, rather than unhappy unless something makes me happy. Most people go through life waiting for something wonderful to happen to make them happy. My attitude is so long as nothing terrible is happening to us, we ought to be happy.

Celebrate as a cherished child of God, known by name and whose very hairs are numbered. Praise and adore God and thank him for ever and ever. Amen.

If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

It's vital that you accept yourself and learn to be happy with who God made you to be. If you want to truly enjoy your life, you must be at peace with yourself.

We should not serve the Lord for what He can do but rather for who He is and what He has already done for us.

A Chinese proverb says, "Those who drink the water must remember those who dug the well." Gratitude is one of the most attractive of all personal attributes;

Forget your inconveniences, but remember your blessings.
