May you find great value in these Thanksgiving quotes and sayings.

Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,

for the baby's laugh, for the touch of a hand
and the whispered "I love you."

I have gratitude for EVERYTHING
that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.

the moments of peace and the flashes of anger,
the compassion and the indifference,
the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear.
I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.
