There is no such thing as a coincidence -- it's just God's hand in a GREATER plan!

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
- Robertson Davies

Be thankful for what you have and you will end up having more. But if you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough. ~Oprah Winfrey

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given to you. - Sarah Ban Breathnach

There is not enough room in the human heart for depression and gratitude at the same time. ~Jason Hall

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilder

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world. ~Adabella Radici

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
~Maya Angelou

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. ~Denis Waitley

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John F. Kennedy

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie

Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind. ~Lionel Hampton

"We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent, and God is shining through it all the time." -Thomas Merton

William Henry Channing: To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are. ~ Marianne Williamson

No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. (Tim Holtz stamp

Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude. Unknown

The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas. The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising. Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude. If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed. ~Maya Angelou
