Review
“Any book that reminds us that life is a gift, is a gift in itself. This book is a true gift.” — Jack Kornfield, best-selling author of No Time like the Present and A Path with Heart
“Everyday Gratitude overflows with an abundance of blessings for all of us.” — Lynne Twist, best-selling author of The Soul of Money
From the Back Cover
Every day, life offers us countless gifts. Some – like a well-timed green light, the perfect birthday present, a good mattress, and a hot shower – are easy to appreciate and gladly accepted. Others – like caregiving, waiting in line, and bad weather – can be more difficult to acknowledge.
This collection of inspirational quotes and accompanying questions helps us to slow down, look anew at each moment, and recognize its gifts, whether large or small, welcome or unwelcome, hidden or obvious.
Words of wisdom come from thinkers and doers around the globe and across the centuries, including Aristotle, James Baldwin, Dorothy Day, Simone de Beauvoir, Emily Dickinson, Rita Dove, Duke Ellington, Anne Frank, Thich Nhat Hahn, Helen Keller, John Muir, Maria Papova, Desmond Tutu, and Alan Watts.
