Happy Thanksgiving
"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth."
-- Sarah Ban Breathnach
"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. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
-- Melody Beattie
"If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get."
-- Frank A. Clark
"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."
-- Charles Dickens
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
-- Epicurus
The pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts . nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. -H. W. Westermayer
