Every morning as part of my daily ritual, I take two gummy vitamins for my body, and a mega dose of vitamin G – gratitude – for my spirit. When I do this regularly, I am much happier, more centered and accepting. It is hard to be thankful and resentful at the same time.

I am incredibly grateful for all the abundance in my life – love, family, friends and so many other blessings. I’m grateful for where I am and who I am, and for living in alignment with my purpose. I’m thankful for all of you and your feedback – posted or shared verbally.

Since I’m feeling such an attitude of gratitude, I thought I’d share some of my favorite quotes on the topic:

“Do not ask for more before saying, ‘Thank you’ for everything you have already received.” ―John Geiger

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ―Melody Beattie

“Count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.” ―William Penn

“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

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” ―William Arthur Ward

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” ―William Arthur Ward

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” ―Brian Tracy

“Realize that it’s not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. Make a habit of noticing the goodness that’s already yours and you will see more of it every time you look for it.”  ―MarcandAngel.com

“If the only prayer you say in your life is thank you, that would suffice.” — Meister Eckhart
