Gratification is the positive emotional response (happiness) to a fulfilment of desire.

I am satisfied when I enjoy priceless God-given things like cinnamon on oatmeal, sunny days, a warm hug, and a spouse who was off-track and readily put back on track by a gentle nudge from me. (See yesterday's blog.)

I just have to throw more out to you on cinnamon: cinnamon has been shown to lower blood sugar as well as bad cholesterol. Visit www.ediets.comfor an article about these health benefits. Maybe an addition I would make from regular consumption would be: Cinnamon makes you happy. That counts for a world of cure.
