Thankfulness is the quality of being thankful for all that one possesses. One should be grateful for all that he or she has and never crib about anything. Life is rewarding to all those people who show gratitude for all their possessions. Life is a strange and a humdrum affair where even a few moments of peace snatched should probably be gratefully acknowledged and everything that comes our way should be accepted with dignity and thankfulness. Those who always crib all the time and are never thankful for whatever they have will always stay dissatisfied and unhappy in life. Contentment and thankfulness are two major necessities for a happy and fulfilling life. In the words of Henry Van Dyke, “Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”
