Allows the freedom of one of the most important elements in our human experience, 'gratitude' in every form (nature, animals, humans, etc) to be acknowledged no matter your religious, social or any other relative background. A wonderful way to begin a day and teach a fundamental building block of a civilized society that we are beginning to lack.
Society speaks for itself. This need not replace prayer for many, but a 'Moment of Gratitude' allows each individual the freedom to reflect to whomever or whatever they feel is the need, while also, not just teaching to the young, but reminding us all the importance of gratitude.
