Gratefulness is easy when we have something really wonderful to be thankful for. How about the difficulties? Patrick Miller ask us to consider "accelerating forgiveness" through gratefulness and not just the so called "good" things. He suggests that, as we change our perceptions, our misfortunes seem to add to our strength, resilience, response-ability and alertness.
He says," Lately it seems that" bad things" are merely those which I'm not yet prepared to handle effectively- and it also seems that they present themselves in order to help me increase my competence."
I think this statement is quite enlightening and I suspect it is not only our competence that is enhanced, but also our empathy, compassion, insight, resilience and tolerance to name just a few.
