Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
— Cicero

Every day, think as you wake up:
Today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive,
I have a precious human life,
I am not going to waste it.
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others, and I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
-Dalai Lama

May all the blessings of the season be yours, but most especially: the gift of gratitude.
