Gratitude is the feeling of thankfulness…..Happpy Thanksgiving…Today is a great opportunity to feel grateful, blessed, & appreciative….
Alfred Painter: “Saying thank you is more than good manners, It is good spirituality.”
Cicero: “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, But the parent of all the others.”
Henry Ward Beecher: “Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.”
J.F.K.: “As we express gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
Marcel Proust: “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
Margaret Cousins: ” Appreciation can make a day, even change a life, your willingness to put into words is all that is necessary.”
Meister Eckhardt:” If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “Thank you” that wouldsuffice.”
William James:” The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.”
Last quote, but certainly not least, my personal favorite:
Brian Schaff:” Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step froward is a step toward achieving something bigger than your current situation”
I have found that prior to arising in the morning, just a few moments to pray, give gratitude and praise for all of my blessings, manifests a more peace filled beginning, changing the course of my day in many positive ways! May Thanksgiving day bring you a clearer vision of gratefulness.
