Gratitude and Thanksgiving
You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another.
Charles Dickens
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.
Alphonse Karr
He said he got up to the line and thought about his wife and daughter, and everything he had to be thankful for.
Spoken after an interview with Derek Parra, immediately following his silver medal winning2002 Olympic performance.
Gratitude: A lively sense of future benefit. A French Definition
I think I learned to appreciate and treasure each day,because you don't know how many you're going to be given.
US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
None of those material possessions do anythingto make your life any better....I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a happy person and can have peace with yourself.
Lenny Kravitz
When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around
Willie Nelson
If you haven’t all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don’t have that you wouldn’t want.

Daily Meditation
Hour To Hour - The First 30 Days',- by Shelly Marshall
If we are in the program on a basis of 'temporary permanence' (we'll stay until we find something better), then we need to re-evaluate.
Addiction is cunning, baffling, and powerful and will always convince us it's better than sobriety. We can only make this program if we commit ourselves each day, every day.
This hour I will not take a fix, pill, drink, smoke, or snort of any mind-affecting chemical.
