I read this quote and was kind of confused. I consider being thankful the same as being grateful. So I pulled up the dictionary and this is the definition of both words.
What is the definition of thankfulness?
thank·ful. Adjective. The definition of thankful is someone feeling or showing gratitude. When you are pleased and grateful for what you have, this is an example of a time when you are thankful.
what is the definition of gratitude?
grat·i·tude. The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
"she expressed her gratitude to the committee for their support"
I LOVE that each definition uses the other word in it's description. So Henri - while your quote sounds good - you're wrong. A thankful person is a grateful person. No better, no worse. Just words.
It's all about feeling it, regardless of what you call it. So - which word do you prefer? I think I lean more towards Thankful because I am always saying THANK YOU to the good in my life!
I am THANKFUL you read this.
