It looks like I posted gratitude quotes exactly a month ago. I think it is time for some more. Yesterday we received a rather negative response to one of our posts. We chose to delete it. This page was started because I personally was fed up with all the negativity coming up in my personal feed and all the negativity from the outside world. I felt it was time for me to put out something positive out into the world.
I haven't always been a glass half full sort of gal. In fact, there are some days when it is very difficult for me to maintain even the slightest positive attitude. Those are the days when I most need the things I post. The days I most need to search for things that are uplifting or inspiring. Hopefully, then one negative attitude doesn't spiral into a lifetime of negative attitudes.
Gratitude is a great way to turn a negative into a positive. Remembering all that we have that is good in our life makes it hard to stay in a negative frame of mind. I have good days and bad days, as we all do. There are days when things don't go my way. Through it all though, I am grateful. I am grateful for all the gifts that surround me. And no matter how bad things get, I can always find something to be grateful for.
Quotes
Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what's going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for. ~ Barry Neil Kaufman
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation. ~ Brian Tracy
God help us to be grateful for our blessings, never to be guilty of the sin of ingratitude, and to instill this same gratitude into the lives of our children. Someone has said that an ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating apples and never looking up to see where they come from. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
I remember hearing in a talk that the more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings, the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
