I remember a story, there was a mother and widow, thought to be very wise. She had a man visit her and ask... "Dear (wise ) woman, I am seized with anger at times and it grips me and will not release me. What can I do to be less angry?"

She replied "Say, I am grateful for everything, I have no regrets what-so-ever."
So, he went off to do as she said and practice this gratitude. Until one day,
he was on her door stoop again saying "Dear woman, I have don'e as you say,
yet still I have anger, what is wrong and what can I do?"
She replied "I am thankful for everything and Have no regrets what so ever.'

At that moment the man was seized and achieved enlightenment about the
whole matter going away, with praise and joy in his heart.....

"S"

Yes, with the simple practice of continuous gratitude I have found it has made a
real and rich difference in my life also.
