In the U.S., Thursday marks our Thanksgiving holiday and the center of this day is thankfulness and gratitude for all the good things in life (and there are many!). With that in mind, here are Thanksgiving quotes for you!

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the spirit of the occasion!
__________

"Who does not thank for little will not thank for much."

Estonian Proverb
__________

"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
__________

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

Thornton Wilder
__________

"If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice."

Meister Eckhart

Wishing you a most beautiful day and Thanksgiving, wherever this may find you!

"Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself."

__________

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

M Scott Peck

__________

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

Henri J.M. Nouwen (The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey)
