Gratitude and joy...


"Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. 
As it is cultivated, we experience an increase 
in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness  at 
another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of 
compassion, we may feel the pain of others, 
so we may begin to feel their joy as well. 
And it doesn't stop there."

 Stephen Levine
