The Learning Curve of Gratitude

I just heard Mary Chapin Carpenter's "This I Believe" essay on NPR.ORG. I sort of hate it when people who have better writing skills say it better than me, but her essay is beautifully written and spoken by her. I understand what she means when she speaks of "The Learning Curve of Gratitude." That learning curve can be experienced by those bearing witness to the struggles of their loved ones. I am still on the curve, not quite at ease with excepting the graciousness, kindness and help from other people. I AM learning though.
