All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.
I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted.
I frequently sat down to meat with thankfulness, and admired the hand of God's providence, which had thus spread my table in the wilderness.
