Gratitude
This Piece is part of Ting Yuen's Artist Diary
Gratitude was the first painting I painted after I broke my ankle in a skiing accident. I was grateful that it
wasn’t my right wrist that I injured because I could still paint. I was also thankful that my husband was able to
help me through this difficult time. There are also countless blessings that gratitude can not
begin to describe how I feel. Our family for the past year has faced some challenging times in health but
my husband, Paul and I have said many prayers of gratitude throughout our difficulties and it reminds me
of this quotation below by Charles Dickens.
“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man
has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which
all men have some” - Charles Dickens
