Simple Gratitude-

 pinecone flowers

This past week while trolling the blogosphere - I noticed quite a few posts on gratitude.  Isn’t that terrific?  Especially during these difficult times we are living in …

This ability to ask the question - What do I have? (And be thankful for it.) Instead of the question - What do I lack? Allows us the opportunity to be grateful for the simple blessings in our lives, and will ultimately give us the strength to overcome such difficult times!

  • If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.   -Meister Eckhart
  • Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.  - Marcel Proust
  • Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful. - Buddha

 

In this spirit of gratitude …
