Happy World Gratitude Day!








“Some people grumble 
that roses have thorns; 
I am grateful that thorns 
have roses.”
Alphonse Karr


“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you’?”
William Arthur Ward


 “In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer


The United Nations Meditation Group created World Gratitude Day to express appreciation for the great things that individuals and groups do. On this day, the group presents an award for outstanding deeds in the spirit of globalism. They encourage everyone to show gratitude and appreciation to the people they know who have done good things and further suggest that each of us find something to be grateful for in our own lives.

I’m sure you agree that one day a year is merely a beginning! Let’s start now to make “gratitude” our daily “attitude.” CJK
