Gratitude Attitude

It sometimes seems that gratitude is a hard thing to balance.  By that I mean it can feel as though if I express my gratitude for certain blessings, that it's being taken by some as boasting.  Or, if I don't express my gratitude that I'm adding to the perception of being a thankless and ungrateful wretch, an ingrate.  Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place!! 



How have you felt about expressing gratitude in the past?  What struggles do you have with showing gratitude for blessings in your life or for things people have done for you?
