I realized that the people that I knew who were long lived, that's a polite way of saying old, whom I respected, loved, they all had one common feature. They had many different personalities, different routes in their lives, but they shared a common feature and that was they had an ease to expressing appreciation and they lived in a state of grace. And Cicero said that gratitude is not only the greatest virtue but the mother of all others. And I started looking at the science of of gratitude. And there's a whole field of psychology that's just rich of wonderful discoveries. It's a positive psychology. And our lives are supposed to be full of such a range of emotions.
