As I work on my next book, "Time to Forgive?," seeds are blossoming that were planted along the way. For example, in "Growing Generous Souls" I quoted American Buddhist monk, Jack Kornfield. “Gratitude is a generous acknowledgement of all that sustains us, about our blessings, great and small,” he said. “As gratitude increases, it gives rise to joy.” (p. 172)     Now I’m looking at the possibility of gratitude despite having experienced harm. I’m finding stories of real people who have not only survived their pain but also have grown in resilience with a sense of meaning once more. Every person is unique, responding in their own way.                                                                                                Betsy
