Gratitude Bestows Reverence

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life (is it abundant or is it lacking?) and the world (is it friendly or is it hostile?).

-- Sarah Ban Breathnach (5 May 1947 -), author, philanthropist, and public speaker, in Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude (1996)
