When looking for inspirational quotes, I found many websites that put quotes in the similar categories:
Attitude- Determination
- Confidence
- Success
- Goals
- Happiness
- Leadership
But when I looked for quotes about “thankfulness” or “gratitude,” the search proved more difficult.
Are we so obsessed with getting more, doing more, being more that we don’t think it’s important to stop and take stock of what we have? To be grateful for what we’ve got, what we’ve done, and who we are?
Before we slip into a turkey-induced comfort comma, take a moment to be still and be grateful.
