Gratitude day . . .



“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
—Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965); theologian, philosopher, physician

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. ”
—Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), British statesman, prime minister, author, Nobel Prize winner

“Some people grumble because roses have thorns; I am thankful that the thorns have roses. ”
—Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1808-1890);critic, journalist, and novelist

My dad had a saying about gratitude and those who never seemed to have any: "Some people wouldn't be happy if you hanged 'em with a new rope."

LOL...just a backwoods saying, but really, it is so tiresome to meet people who have no gratitude! Guess I should be grateful it doesn't happen more!
