Gratitude and thanksgivng

Being thankful is very good for you! Having an attitude of gratitude makes you more aware, and appreciative, of what you already have as well as attracting more good things into your life. And it's a wonderful way of increasing your happiness levels.

It's Thanksgiving Day in the States today - but you can have a thanks giving day every day; and here are some great quotations on gratitude to help you do so.

  • "Being grateful. That's the first step to the path of Joy." ~ 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, Author
  • "When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself." ~ Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief
  • "You can never get to peace and inner security without first acknowledging all of the good things in your life. If you're forever wanting and longing for more without first appreciating things the way they are, you'll stay in discord." ~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin
  • “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
  • “Today’s gratitude buys tomorrow’s happiness.” ~ Michael McMillian
  • "Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life." ~ Christiane Northrup, M.D.
