Appreciation Quotes

    “We have problems perceiving nonevents.  We are blind to what does not exist.  We realize if there is a war, but we do not appreciate the absence of war during peacetime.  If we are healthy, we rarely think about being sick.  Or, if we get off the plane in Cancún, we do not stop to notice that we did not crash.  If we thought more frequently about absence, we might well be happier.” ~ Rolf Dobelli, The Art of Thinking Clearly

      “You remember and dwell on all the things you’ve lost and ignore all the things you haven’t.  Because your scars are like stars.  Yet the night stays perfectly black.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

        “You wake up with a list of all the people you’d rather be.  But you’re already on everyone else’s list.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

            Picture Quote Text:

            “You cannot exercise much power without gratitude because it is gratitude that keeps you connected with power. The creative power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention. The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best, therefore it will receive the best.”

            Wallace Wattles

              “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” 
~ John F. Kennedy
