....thank you!

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

Alan Cohen

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.

-- Cicero

Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. 

 Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. 

 Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is.  

Appreciating small victories.

Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human.  

Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. 

 And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know.  At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing

 is reason enough to celebrate.

Meredith Grey

If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

-- Author Unknown

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.

-- Albert Schweitzer

May my feet rest firmly on the ground

May my head touch the sky

May I see clearly

May I have the capacity of listen

May I be free to touch

May my words be true

May my heart and mind be open

May my hands be empty to fill the need 

May my arms be open to others

May my gifts be revealed to me

So that I may return that which has been given

Completing the great circle.
