“They should be thankful” (Chapter Nine, Big Book)
“a genuine gratitude for blessings received” (Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions)
A way out of gloom:
Before each task, ask God for help.
After each task, thank God for His help in performing the task.
Panning back: When I flick the switch, the light comes on; when I turn the tap, water comes on; when I’m ill, there’s a doctor to help me.
There is always more to be grateful for than not.
