QUOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Where there is smoke there is fire. Where there is gratitude, there is freedom, presence, inner health.Only free people feel gratitude for everything. Gratitude is the index of my inner freedom."

"I rememer YOU with deep gratitude. I am even more grateful for what you left in my heart as you took leave of me."

"When we meet in the sacred space, if I am privileged to light the lamp of gratitude in your heart, my own flame will dance for joy seeing you come more alive."

"The opposite of gratefulness is not ungratefulness. It is lack of PRESENCE to the beauty of this moment, because I am getting stuck in the woundedness of the past or anxiety about an imagined future."

"I BEGIN TO SEE ONLY YOUR DEFECTS AND HARDEN MY HEART. I BEGIN TO SEE THE GOODNESS IN YOU AND SOFTEN MY HEART AND FEEL GRATEFUL AND THEN BEGIN TO SEE MORE GOODNESS ALL AROUND ME."

"Gratis means free. Gratitude is the freely given grace to relish and cherish that everything truly precious is freely given. We stand bathed and graced in the innumerable tiny miracles that unfold every moment."

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."

"LOOK AT YOUR HAND. Take a closer look. The skin, the nails, the fine hairs, the breathing pores, the fine bones beneath the surface. No hand like this ever existed since creation began. Your own hand - UNIQUE. Let the hand stand for you: your existence, inimitable, unprecedented. The mystery of you being here. You, who have a particular history, a biography, aswell as a biology. You have countless stories, memories, intuitions and desires within you. You are the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A MIRACLE !!"

"When things go wrong one after another, to experience some goodness in things, situations or people, and spontaneously feel grateful, is a

    Before arriving on my first day of instruction, I believed that my argumentation skills were at a reasonable level and as a result I was not going to learn an abundance in English 2, critical thinking and writing. However, this was not the case. I quickly realized that the pathos, ethos and logos of which was introduced to me in high school, had long lost their meaning and subsequently found myself in the deep end of the swimming pool, once again. With that being said, through learning these concepts, planning for the subsequent tasks and writing the assigned essays, I acquired a substantial amount of knowledge which is widely applicable.…

    I think that my attitude about gratitude is very important. Over the past couple weeks, I have been assingned to write about what I am grateful for or something good that has happened to me that day. I think that this has really truly strengthed my health in a lot of ways. I used to think that I wasn’t that wealthy. I used to think that everyone has more than me. I have had a talk about this with my parents and they have said that you should be so grateful for what you have. I have been thinking about this lately and its really got to me. I have read an article that there was a group of kids. Someone asked all of them to write down what they were thankful for each day. Some of the kids did it and some didn’t. it turns out that the ones who did it were the most happy. They were so happy and cheerful rather than the other kids who did not appreciate all that they had. They think that they should just be automatically given that stuff. If you think like that you will never be happy. I have learned from experience. When you are grateful for everything you are happy about everything. If you are happy about everything, then it can effect you entire health. Mentally and Socially. Just like we have gotten to write in a gratitude journal, that is practicing for many things. In my article, it says “people that have gratitude tend to be more creative, bounce back more quickly from adversity, have a stronger immune system, and have stronger social relationships than those who don’t practice gratitude. I think this totally true and I agree with it. In the end, being grateful makes you feel so amazing and happy.…

    As Brooks says, “When was the last time you were grateful for the spots on a trout?” (Brooks 5)The first small thing I am thankful for is color. Without color life would be so boring to just be in all black and white all the time. Color shows creativity and individuality. Another thing I am grateful for is dishwashers. Dishwashers have made my life so much easier. When dishes are my chore for the week I can just load and unload the dishwasher opposed to having to hand wash every single dish that had been used. Flash drives are also a big life savor. I never thought to be grateful for them before this assignment. I chose now to be grateful because I have all my pictures saved on a flash drive. If I were to lose that I would lose not only all my pictures, but all the memories that go along with them. Being appreciative for the little things can make you so much happier. Once one realizes that they will notice all the little things that make life a whole lot easier and help in the simplest…
