Gratitude| Say “Thank You!” & Change Your life Written by Nina Saxena Cicero said “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all the others” I went to visit a friend recently. There were others there and one young parent started expressing her frustration at not being able to discipline her pre-teens daughter. Her daughter was not appreciating all the work she put in as a parent and constantly complaining about things she didn’t have, would not listen to her and would throw a tantrum easily whenever she was not getting her way.
