Gratitude Is Attitude

The word gratitude is derived from the Latin work gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness.  In some ways gratitude encompasses all of these meanings.  Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible.

With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives.  In the process, people usually recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves.

As a result, gratitude also helps people connect to something larger than themselves as individuals-whether to other people, nature, or a higher power.

People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways.  They can apply it to the past, the present, and the future.  Regardless of the inherent or current level of someone's gratitude, it's a quality that individuals can successfully cultivate further.

Tabibu Africa holds deep gratitude to individuals, groups and young and old alike for support in countless ways.  Our gratitude for financial support, the giving of time and talents, and the support in sharing publications is enormous.  Without the blessings of all our supporters, Tabibu Africa could not thrive, not could we do what we do.  Gratitude is truly the attitude we embrace.
