Attitude of Gratitude

I've encountered people that are so ecstatic about their good fortune that they forget about God. I've also encountered others who are so despondent that they forget about God. What both remind me of is the importance of incorporating an attitude of gratitude toward God daily. If it's not conditional and it's a part of my lifestyle, then it really does become a simple thing to do each day that enriches my daily living.  Just like my daily ADL's, my day can't really start until I spend just a moment expressing my thanks to God.
