A gratitude-heart
Is to discover on earth
A Heaven-delivered rose.
Excerpt from My Sunrise-Heart, Part 1 by Sri Chinmoy.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

but rejoices for those which he has.

My heart overflows with gratitude
for being here
to see the first blooms
from the bulbs I planted in November.

Lovely Viota! I like especially the last one.
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer
All lovely Yiota.
I was going to join you with your inspiring words yesterday and my posting all went awry. So hopefully I'll join you later today. Such a lovely idea.
What a wonderful idea, Yiota, by having this whole week with inspiring words ! You're making us think about so many things that sometimes are hidden insed our souls...
I loved the second one:

Thank you so much for your lovely words on my blog yesterday :) Oh, and inside that basket there were different kinds of cookies, fruit, capuccino coffee, guava juice, cheese and flowers ! :D It's such a lovely idea for giving someone a gift early morning :)

So wonderful, thank you for the reminder of gratitude in our lives! This is my favorite part:

Blessed, indeed!
I think that being grateful for lots of things we take for granted is very important. My mum says that if you do not notice what you have then you had might as well not have it!

What a lovely idea - a week of inspiring words! Too late for me to jump in now but I am enjoying yours... And these quotations are great. Gratitude is definitely one of my favourite inspirational words - I do have so much to be thankful for.
And I think my favourite quote about gratitude... "A joyful spirit is evidence of a grateful heart." Maya Angelou :)
Wow! Those pictures! Those buds! I am grateful!
