Picture the tiny bits of happiness, beauty and richness in your life as pieces of fabric. Alone, the bits of goodness in your life can go unnoticed and lack power.
Now picture thankfulness as thread. And the practice of thankfulness as the act of sewing the pieces of fabric together. Stitched together they become larger and more powerful than when they stand alone.
Alone the bits of goodness are like the pieces of fabric. Scraps. Stitched together the scraps become a quilt. Together tiny bits of thankful, like the quilt are tools of warmth and comfort. They add richness to your life.
