Reflect upon your present blessings (of which every man has many) not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Charles Dickens

Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

None of us got to where we are alone. Whether the assistance we received was obvious or subtle, acknowledging someone's help is a big part of understanding the importance of saying thank you.

When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Being thankful is not always experienced as a natural state of existence, we must work at it, akin to a type of strength training for the heart.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.

Charles Spurgeon
