Happy Thanksgiving!

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today…

As you celebrate this amazing day in whatever way feels best for you, I want to share these three quotes that I especially like.

“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

“Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.” ~Theodore Roosevelt

“I love Thanksgiving turkey. It’s the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.” ~Arnold Schwarzenegger

The first reminds me that I need to find the sweetness in life, not just on Thanksgiving but every day throughout the year. I can do this through my appreciation and acceptance of all things.

The second encourages me to share my gifts and services with others so that my gratitude becomes a living act.

The last quote assures me that humor is not only helpful but necessary!

On this blessed day may you feel gratitude and acceptance, appreciation of yourself and others and most of all enjoy!
