“Take full account of the excellencies which you possess, and in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them, if you had them not.” -Marcus Aurelius
“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” -Thorton Wilder
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” -William Arthur Ward
“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 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
Do you want to improve your day? If so, do these 4 things:
1. Write down 5 things that you are thankful for.
2. Go tell at least two people you appreciate them. (And mean it!)
3. Do something kind for a stranger.
4. Create a positive message and send it out to your social media friends.
Optimism is contagious, and it begins with gratitude.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for being you!
