Daily focalPOINT – Gratitude
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” ~Cicero Very interesting quote. In other words if you can’t feel gratitude all else is null and void. Whenever I get a little down I create a gratitude list which is a list of all the things I have to be…
