Hakarat Hatov~ Hebrew for recognizing good
"The secret embedded in the Hebrew is that gratitude depends on not getting something good, but on recognizing good...no matter how much we lack, no matter what difficult times we are passing through, every one of us can find a myriad of things to be grateful for...gratitude is a feat of consciousness which requires a 'back to basics' mentality, becoming cognizant of all the rudimentary things we usually take for granted."
