'Tis the Season to be Grateful!

I cannot tell you how to become rich in the worldly sense. But I can tell you how to FEEL rich, which is far better than BEING rich. Be GRATEFUL--it's the only reliable get-rich-quick scheme.

Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.

The miracle is this: the more we SHARE, the more we HAVE. Be grateful 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.

Gratitude is the closest thing to beauty manifested in an emotion.

I am grateful for aches and pains--they remind me that I am alive.
I am grateful for long days--they remind me that I have a purpose in this world.
I am grateful for early work calls--they remind me that I am needed in this time.
I am grateful for the fingers typing this--they remind me that I have gifts to share with others.
I am grateful to be alive at the same time as you.
