Various authors' thoughts on thankfulness, then a song

To give thanks in solitude is enough.

Thanksgiving has wings

and goes where it must go.

Your prayer knows much more about it

than you do.

Victor Hugo

There is not a more pleasing exercise

of the mind

than gratitude.

Joseph Addison

Never lose an opportunity of seeing

anything that is beautiful;

for beauty is God's handwriting - 

a wayside sacrament.

Welcome it in every fair face,

in every fair sky, in every fair flower,

and thank God for it as

a cup of blessing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

The question is not what man can

scorn,

or disparage,

or find fault with,

but what he can

love,

and value,

and appreciate.

John Ruskin

When you arise in the morning,

give thanks for the morning light,

for your life and strength.

Give thanks for your food,

and the joy of living.

If you see no reason for giving thanks,

the fault lies with yourself.

Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief 

This is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

 

I am heading into a night's sleep

on a Sunday night,

facing the week ahead

with much gratefulness.

The last two days were restful and rejuvenating.

Blessings to you all as you begin your new week.

I'll leave you with this video and song.
