Anxiety takes a snapshot of the present
and projects it onto the screen of tomorrow.
- Fred Smith
The remedy…
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,
With thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
Will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 4:6-7).

“The God of Harvest Praise.”
The God of harvest praise.
In loud thanksgiving raise
Heart, hand and voice.
The valleys smile and sing,
Forests and mountains sing,
The plains their tribute bring,
The streams rejoice.
The God of harvest praise.
Hearts, hands and voices raise
With sweet accord.
From field to garner throng,
Bearing your sheaves along,
And in your harvest song
Bless ye the Lord.
Writer: James Montgomery (1840)

Celebrate friends,
Celebrate love,
Celebrate adventure

Celebrate and give thanks
for all of life.

The more tranquil a man becomes,
The greater is his success,
His influence, his power for good.
Calmness of mind is one of the
Beautiful jewels of wisdom.
- James Allen
Often people attempt to live
Their lives backwards.
They try to have more things,
Or more money, to do
More of what they want so that
They will be happier.
The way it works is the
Reverse.
You must first BE who you really are,
Then, DO what you need to do,
To HAVE what you want.
- Margaret Young
At the end of the day it’s
NOT about what you have
Or even what you’ve accomplished
… It’s about who you’ve lifted,
Who you’ve made better.
It’s about what you’ve given back.
- Denzel Washington
Let us be grateful to the
people who make us happy.
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.
- Marcel Proust
Gratitude can transform
common days
into thanksgivings,
turn routine jobs into joy,
and change ordinary opportunities
into blessings.
- William Arthur Ward
‘Thank you’
is the best prayer that
anyone could say.
I say that one a lot.
Thank you expresses extreme
gratitude, humility, understanding.
- Alice Walker
The trick is to be grateful
when your mood is high
and graceful when it is low.
- Richard Carlson
Appreciation can make a day…
even change a life.
Your willingness to put it into
words are all that is necessary.
- Margaret Cousins
Gratitude unlocks all that’s blocking
us from really feeling truthful,
really feeling authentic and
vulnerable and happy.
- Gabrielle Bernstein
Thankfulness is the beginning
of gratitude.
Gratitude is the completion of
thankfulness.
Thankfulness may consist merely
of words.
Gratitude is shown in acts.
- Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Enjoy the little things,
for one day you may look back
and realize they were the
big things.
- Robert Brault
[Gratitude]
turns what we have into enough,
and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order,
confusion into clarity…
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
- Melody Beattie
Feeling gratitude and
not expressing it
is like wrapping a present
and not giving it.
- William Arthur Ward
A good friend is a connection to life,
a tie to the past, a road to the future,
the key to sanity in a totally insane
world.
- Lois Wyse
