An attitude of gratitude rids our lives of the film of frustration, the rust of resentment, and the varnish of vanity -- all destroyers of self esteem. When we count our blessings, we multiply harmony and good feelings, and the lamp's flame burns higher once again. ~Daily Splashes of Joy by Barbara Johnson
