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

There comes a point in everyone day when they are just done.  And today, now I am done.  Time to crawl into bed, pull the covers up and start again tomorrow renewed, refreshed and ready to start the new day.

Take Time Take time to think- It is the source of all power. Take time to read- It is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to play- It is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to be quiet- It is the opportunity to seek God. Take time to be aware- It is the opportunity to help others. Take time to love and be loved- It is God's greatest gift. Take time to laugh- It is the music of the soul. Take time to be friendly- It is the road to happiness. Take time to dream- It is what the future is made of. Take time to pray- It is the greatest power on earth. Take time to give- It is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work- It is the price of success. There is a time for everything.
~ Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

The best gifts are tied with heart strings.
