"Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.? This is
a most searching and true diagnosis. Gratitude can be a vaccine that
can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled attitude. As antitoxins
prevent the disastrous effects of certain poisons and diseases,
thanksgiving destroys the poison of faultfinding and grumbling. When
trouble has smitten us, a spirit of thanksgiving is a soothing
antiseptic.?
