Living your life through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else; or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve. Living your life through Gratitude, is seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it.

Here is an truly inspirational video: inspirational on several levels. On one level is the pure delight in the magnificence of our universe.
