Appreciation
Whenever we are appreciative, we are filled with a sense of well-being and swept up by the feeling of joy. Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the gratefully and appreciating heart. The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend. A friend will never be in your way, unless you’re falling down. Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

I cannot forget my mother. [S]he is my bridge. When I needed to get across, she steadied herself long enough for me to run across safely. A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you - life.

I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom. You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Love is friendship set to music. One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.

Return to Index of Thank You Quotes Attitude of GratitudeLet us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy. For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude. Return to Index of Thank You Quotes BeautifulI would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom.

Return to Index of Thank You Quotes BlessingsHem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel. Strength, rest, guidance, grace, help, sympathy, love - all from God to us!! What a list of blessings! A grateful heart is one that finds the countless blessings of God in the seemingly mundane everyday life. Return to Index of Thank You Quotes GiftsIt isn't the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it. Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection. Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness. The manner of giving is worth more than the gift. Return to Index of Thank You Quotes GivingWe make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Unselfish and noble actions are the most radiant pages in the biography of souls. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious. The great art of giving consists in this: the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.
Blessed are those that can give without remembering and receive without forgetting. Forget yourself and live for others, for It is more blessed to give than to receive. To give and not expect return, that is what lies at the heart of love. What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

GratitudeAs we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Gratitude is one of the least articulate of the emotions, especially when it is deep. Gratitude is the memory of the heart. The depth and the willingness with which we serve is a direct reflection of our gratitude.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Return to Index of Thank You Quotes HumorousI feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude. Return to Index of Thank You Quotes Importance of AppreciationWhat if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. Every time we remember to say “thank you”, we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.
For me, giving thanks is a sign of appreciation and gratitude that also brings about a deep sense of peace. Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.
“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.”

Kindness is the language, which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind. One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people. No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves. Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind. When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel. You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life. Return to Index of Thank You Quotes ProfoundWe can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

Return to Index of Thank You Quotes Thank You GodI thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. I thank God for my handicaps for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God. I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. O Lord, who lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness. On the recollection of so many and great favours and blessings, I now, with a high sense of gratitude, presume to offer up my sincere thanks to the Almighty, the Creator and Preserver. Get down on your knees and thank God you’re still on your feet.
Return to Index of Thank You Quotes ThanksgivingThanksgiving is the language of heaven, and we had better start to learn it if we are not to be mere dumb aliens there. We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction. Return to Index of Thank You Quotes Thanksgiving as PrayerIf the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’, it will be enough.
Just a "thank you" is a mighty powerful prayer. Says it all. A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer. A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably. Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality.

If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. The more we seek gratitude, the more reason the angels will give us for gratitude and joy to exist in our lives.

The Dash
It's not the date you were born, or the date you died, that really matters. It's "the dash" between those years and what you do with it, to make a difference with your life.
