Gratefulness

Had this at the back of my mind for the few days: Gratefulness. It's an emotion or sentiment most of us don't practice or access in ourselves enough. We have a lot to be really grateful for, but, for some reason many of us (myself very much included), tend to focus on the have-not. ugh.

Something I hardly think about anymore [see?!] is the fact that we used to have smoking in indoor public places, like restaurants and malls. It's been a long while since there hasn't been, so it's easy to take it for granted.. just like we take for granted a lot of things in life we could find ourselves grateful for that might help us find a better state of mind when we find ourselves filled with negativity.

I found a this good quote just a minute ago:

"Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?"

How true.
