Giving Thanks on Tuesday ~ 04/20/10

Happy Tuesday everyone and welcome to another day devoted to the word Gratitude.



Gratitude is something we carry inside of us the deeper the river runs the stronger the current.


Gratitude is the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.


Broken down further to be grateful is to have a warm or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received.


A few quotes on the topic for today:


"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." - Epictetus


~~~~~~~~~~~


"Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic"


- John Henry Jowett


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


“To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.”



-Albert Schweitzer



So take the time to start a gratitude journal, take a moment each morning to start a habit of taking

time to pray and give thanks.



Send out into the world your expression of gratitude with a deep breath from your porch or deck, a sigh of relief that yes today is another day.



You are alive. You have been given

the gift of another day.



The vision to breathe in another

precious breath of air.



The sense of gratitude to be loved,

cared for and smiled upon.



Everyday the world smiles when you smile back.



Everyday the world smiles with

you when you smile with it.



Enjoy the day!



Enjoy your moments of gratitude.



Till next time .... Smile and start or continue

your path of gratitude.
