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.

Beattie
There are two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is
a miracle. The other is as if everything is a miracle. Albert
Einstein
Kind words are like honey—
Sweet to the taste and good for your health.
Proverbs 16:24
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind
word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the small act of
caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo
Buscaglia
Kind words are jewels that live in the heart and soul and remain
as blessed memories years after they have been spoken. Marvea
Johnson
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could
make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you
waiting? Stephen
Levine
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without
forgetting. Elizabeth
Bibesco
He is wise who does not grieve for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has. Epictetus
The secret of abundance is to stop focusing on what you do not have,
and shift your consciousness to an appreciation of all that you
are and all that you do have. Wayne
Dyer
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever
is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians
4:8
Where there is hatred, let us sow love; Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope; Where there is sadness, joy.
Francis
of Assisi
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that
no person can sincerely try to help another without also helping
oneself. Ralph
Waldo Emerson
When you place your priority on listening rather than speaking,
you become an irresistible force for good in the world. Lee
Glickstein
Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine
needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow.
All are holy in the memory and the experience of my people. The
perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great
eagle, these are our brothers. We love this earth as a newborn loves
its mother’s heartbeat. Chief
Seattle
The way we treat our children in the dawn of their lives and the
way we treat our elderly in the twilight of their lives is a measure
of the quality of a nation. Hubert
Humphrey
The body is truly a miracle of miracles . . . and should be highly
respected and loved. To experience total aliveness, don't let your
health take a back seat to anything. Cherish, appreciate and nurture
your body.
Susan Smith Jones
Exercising can actually be a form of prayer—a thanksgiving
for the privilege of having a body and for simply being alive.
Regina Ryan and John Travis
So here we are, in our rare and precious lives, surrounded by gorgeous
moments begging to be noticed and celebrated. Go! Celebrate!
Sark
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances.
