		<description>Hi Jan,

Having people to call friend &lt;b&gt;is&lt;/b&gt; priceless. Since I wrote this post I've found more and more the importance of gratitude to both me, as the one expressing gratitude, and those to whom I feel gratitude.</description>

		<description>In every little things that someone did for me I'd showed gratitude in return. And it benefited me by having so many people that I comfortable speak to and for me it so awesome. Having people called friends is just priceless.

		<description>[...] For those of us in the U.S., today is Thanksgiving, our version of the harvest festival that is traditional worldwide. Thanksgiving has become more than a thanks for a bountiful harvest that will allow us to survive the winter into a new spring when food begins to grow again. It is a symbolical day to give thanks for all that we have received during the past year. In Giving Gratitude I talked about how an attitude of gratitude can improve our lives, and in My Thanks I talked about some of the things I am thankful for this year. [...]</description>

		<description>Hi Carolyn!

Sometimes we do get hung up on words. I know. I've had a lot of practice at it.:-) If we take time to think about the word and how we think about it, we can find out an awful lot about ourselves and where we're at.

You may want to take a look at &lt;a href="http://sillypoorgospel.blogspot.com/2006/10/spiritual-discipline-of-gratitude.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; on the gratitude as a discipline.</description>

		<description>Hi Rick,

I, too, feel the word 'gratitude' is ikky.  The concept, however is not.  Thanks for pointing out the importance of realizing we need to understand what we have is not always given on a silver platter; we are blessed with what we have and need to acknowledge that blessing.

		<description>Hey Steve, 

But does it make sense?

I like to understand things, and thanks in part to you and the others I think I'm starting to understand this. I was concerned that you may feel like I was misinterpreting some of what you were saying.</description>
