Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Rabbi Harold Kushner

An inspirational tidbit....

"Things turn out best for people 

who make the best of the way things turn out."

John Wooden

Fill your life with gratitude!

"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

Give someone a smile today!

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.

These are but trifles, to be sure;

but, scattered along life's pathway,

the good they do is inconceivable."

Joseph Addison

The benefits of gratitude....

"To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving."

Gregg Krech

Live in joy!

"There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy."

Ralph H. Blum
