I’m trying hard during this week’s focus on thankfulness and gratitude to think of people I consider marked by these things. Here’s a definition for gratitude:
gratitude:
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness : she expressed her gratitude to the committee for their support.
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French, or from medieval Latin gratitudo, from Latin gratus ‘pleasing, thankful.’
I can list people who are powerful leaders, compelling communicators or gifted athletes but I’m having a hard time coming up with names of persons who are marked by this readiness to appreciate and return kindness.
Can you do me a favor and list down some people, past or present, who fit this description?
