"You know, when we were kids, we had to go to a theater to see a movie. And then television came in and you had to wait until midnight to see the one you wanted to see. Now, all you've got to do is go to a store and buy it and you can watch it whenever you want!"

In other words, whenever we are appreciative, we are filled with a sense of well-being and swept up by the feeling of joy.”
