Do you find yourself at times captivated by a newborn baby?

Have you ever joyfully listened to the birds chirping on a bright summer morning?

If you answered yes to any above then you've experienced gratitude.

At times in life we have all felt like our cup is half full and want to experience the overflowing cup of abundance, but it often feels just beyond our reach.
