A wise friend poured into me years ago that \u201cwhatever we pay attention to grows.\u201d My strong sense is that we pay attention to too many undeserving things.

\u201cThose people who say things\u201d \u2014 as we often joke in our household \u2014 always say that gratitude has to be practiced. The more we practice or pay attention, the more routine it becomes; the more it also rubs off on those around us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
