HAPPY THANKSGIVING

 

     Since it is Thanksgiving, here are some quotes on the subject.   “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” — John F. Kennedy.  “Reflect upon your present blessings—of which every man has many—not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” — Charles Dickens   “Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: It must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” — William Faulkner

     “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.” — Melody Beattie   “If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” — Meister Eckhart

“Gratitude is the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.” — Amy Collette   “To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.” — Johannes A. Gaertner

     “Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.” — Jacques Maritain   “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer

     Today I am so blessed because I have my children and grandchildren joining us for Thanksgiving dinner.  In total there will be over 25 people gathered around our table.  I never could have believed how wonderful it is to be the Patriarch of such a wonderful family.  Truly thankful today.
