I was having my dinner at McDonald’s one evening when an old couple slowly walked in. They 36 their meal, took a table near the window and started 37 food out of the plate. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries(炸薯条) and one drink. The man 38_the food into two halves and carefully placed 39 before his wife.
He took a sop(一小口)of the drink. His wife also took one and then 40 the cup down between them.“That 41 old couple! All they can 42 is one meal for the two of them , ” thought I. 43 the man began to eat his French fries, I 44 to my feet, went over and said that I was 45 to buy another meal for them. But he 46 refused me and said that they made it a 47 to share everything.
48 , the lady didn’t take a bite. She sat there 49 her husband eat, and taking turns(轮流) sipping the drink. Again I 50 to buy them something but was refused. When the man finished eating and was 51 his face with a napkin(纸巾), I 52 no longer stand it. I made an offer to them a third time. 53 being politely refused, I asked the lady 54 ,“Ｍadam, why aren’t you eating?

If you want recovery soon, start by feeling grateful that you are still . If it is more money that you want, start being grateful for whatever of money you already have.
You see, showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every thing in life. It is the key to successful relationships, it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to healthier and happier lives. And this is where the importance of being grateful lies. , it makes life better.
One of my favorite is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you will find yourself having more to appreciate.” Think about that!
Something as as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I having you here with me”, can go a long way. It will make the other person feel good, and it also will make you feel better!
So maybe your wife is not very around the house, but she’s great at cooking your favorite . Or, maybe your child milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work, but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you the luckiest parent in the world.
I strongly you to make a promise to yourself for the next week. Decide to every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are for. Then say them out loud. You will notice a smile on your face without even . In 30 days you will feel completely renewed. This is the of being grateful!
