“It is not joy that makes us grateful. It is gratitude that makes us joyful.” — David Rast

When we look at what we can be thankful for in our lives, it makes us joyful. When we discover what we can do, it makes us joyful. When we do the things we want to do in our lives, it makes us joyful. When we still have our health, it makes us joyful for being alive.  When others are please with our help, it makes us joyful. When we no longer discount the positives, it makes us joyful. So when we’re at our lowest, we can think about what we’re grateful for in our lives. Our sadness turns into joy whenever we look back on what events in our lives made us grateful. It is all in the way we look at things.
