Comes from the heart.

thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

Gratitude is not a spiritual or moral dessert which
we may take or push away according to the whims of the
moment, and in either case without material consequences.

moral health, individually and collectively. What was

of the ancient world beyond the point of divine remedy...?
What was it but ingratitude?
- Noel Smith
