GRATITUDE QUOTATIONS
“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

“Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul. ”

Amy Collette

“The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see.”

Mary Davis

“Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.”

Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr

“Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.”

Roy T. Bennett

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.”

Melody Beattie

“It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.”

David Steindl-Rast

“Two kinds of gratitude: the sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.”

Edwin Arlington Robinson

“If we magnified blessings as much as we magnify disappointments, we would all be much happier.”

John R. Wooden

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.”

Oprah Winfrey

“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.”

Randy Pausch

“Invite your heart to be grateful and your thank yous will be heard even when you don't use words.”

Pavithra Mehta

As a foreigner, I am grateful for my College Medger Evers for giving me the opportunity to accomplish something beyond expectation "my degree" and to be the first in my family to make my beloved mother proud.

The college video gets to me every time. My dad unfortunately started struggling with an addiction to drugs in 2008. He started being abusive towards me, more emotionally than physically, in 2010, and when my parents divorced in 2011, he despised me. I believe he blames me for the divorce because I finally broke down and told my mom everything. He says we are both crazy, but the reality is, he is blinded by mind altering drugs. He will no longer answer my phone calls. The last time I went up to his door, to invite him to a church play I would be starring in and a revival I would be singing at, he was shaking, broke out, and was so skinny that when I hugged him I could feel every bone in his spine. I haven't spoken to him since, although I did find out on Facebook that he gave my entire inheritance , a large farm with a house, barn, garage, trailer and multiple fields, to a woman he has only been dating for a couple of years, with no intent of ever marrying. My gratitude falls in the arms of my loving mother who has stand beside me throughout everything that I have been through. Even though no one will ever fill the blank space that my dad left, she tries her hardest to play the role of mother and father. She truly is nuturer and provider in our house. I am also so grateful to have a God that will never forsake me. He has been holding my hand ever since the first day that my dad tried to hit me, and he still hasn't let go. Even with all I have been through, how could I not be grateful?
