Yesterday I wrote a little about gratitude lists. And today, I share with you some wonderful gratitude quotes we've culled from yon and hither (when the heat is on too high like it is today I start speaking olde english) for your gratitude-boosting enjoyment. When I start getting all kvetchy and cranky and victimy I find they help shift my perspective.
Here are a couple of my faves to get you warmed up:
"I thank God for my handicaps for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God."
--Helen Keller
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
--Melody Beattie
