One of the most inspiring chapters in Book I of Ourselves is Chapter 7, on gratitude. “No other Lord of the Heart should do more to guide us into joyous and happy living than Gratitude,” writes Miss Mason. The chapter reminds us of what we should be thankful for, and it reminds me of how we should express our thanks.

What is the source of Mason’s counsel on gratitude? We find it in her poem about the ten lepers who were cleansed. She opens with a quotation from Wordsworth, and then she expresses her own thoughts on verse. It is challenging in an inspiring way, and invites us to the “joyous and happy living” of gratitude. Find it here.
