Gratitude ~ August 29, 2011

I am grateful for many blessings in my life. I am grateful that I live in a place full of beauty (the ocean, the night sky, the deer and wildlife that surrounds me). I am grateful that I am able to do a job that I love. I am grateful that I do not have to rush anywhere. I am grateful for all of you who have joined me here.  I am grateful . . . What are you grateful for?


Quotes

There are times I forget to be grateful
easier to see things that are wrong
as I dishonor the the gifts I've been given
with worry, angst and woe.

There are times I need reminding
of the things I take for granted each day;
my children, my home or a stranger,
sent to brighten my way.

Take some time to say thank you
for the blessings that color your day;
Those colors will form a rainbow,
and chase the darkness away.

~ Marianne Goldweber

i thank You God for most this amazing
day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes.

~ e.e. cummings

. . . a basic law: the more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for. This, of course, is a fact. Thankfulness does tend to reproduce in kind. The attitude of gratitude revitalizes the entire mental process by activating all other attitudes, thus stimulating creativity. ~ Norman Vincent Peale
