Gratefulness
Letting others know by my words and actions how they have benefited my life

vs. Unthankfulness

Porcupine
In a sense, the porcupine "counts its benefits" rather than its troubles. With a single swipe of its tail, it can send even a powerful bear running. Thus, the porcupine wanders the woods with little reason for fear.

I WILL:

  • Identify benefactors.

  • Show appreciation.

  • Care for possessions.

  • Simplify expectations.

  • Count benefits rather than burdens.

Quote
"Gratitude is the least of Virtues, but Ingratitude the worst of Vices."
