Time for this week’s Gratitude Sunday post. Quotes on Gratitude “The point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on.” — Julia Alvarez “Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” — John Milton “I have [...]
