Quote

I am grateful every morning I wake up. I've a big family full of kids, who laugh all the time and love each other.

Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day, which must be done, whether you like it or not.

Before I get out of bed, I am saying thank you. I know how important it is to be thankful.

Writing is never, ever easy but I wake up every morning grateful for the gift of being able to do this.

It's always such a joy that you wake up in the morning and there's work to do.

I just thank God when I wake up every day.

I love getting up in the morning with nothing else to do except write.

I get up, go and get a coffee, and go do the crossword - I'm loyal to one particular paper, the 'Guardian' - and that's my idea of a perfect morning.

I write out of gratitude for all the books I have loved over the years.

But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.
