Thanksgiving quotes we can use all year long
I love quotes! Some of them I read or hear and they go in one ear and out the other. Those that really resonate stick with me and help change my perspective about life. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I wanted to share some quotes about gratitude, as well as other insightful quotes about living life to the fullest and being more appreciative for all that we have, even when the chips are down. I hope you find one here that embraces you.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are.

Let go of what has happened. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.
~ Neil Gaiman ~
“May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey plump, may your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious and your pies take the prize, and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs!”
~ Unknown ~

Thanks Sandra! I like that one too 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Please give everyone my best!
Thoughtful, meaningful and the one about 13 minutes is hysterical. Thanks for the reminder and how vital gratitude is to our well being.
Thank you Sandie. I found that one to be very funny also 🙂
Most of us need reminders of what we have to be thankful for. It can be easy to get off course. But what is important is realizing and look at all the positives we have in our lives. And sharing ourselves and what we can offer. Have a blessed day with your family on Thanksgiving.
Still saying prayers for all who had and still must dea with flood aftermath.
You have been a blessing to many.
Thank you Linda-Kaye. I too need these reminders and by putting them down like this, it helps me remember and put to use what is so easily forgotton. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Thank you for your continued friendship, for which I am truly grateful.
Thank you for sharing these. They are beautiful! I bought your book, am reading it now. I’m very sad at the moment, been rediagnosed, trying to come to yet another acceptance. Going through another mourning process. Time,time,time.
Dorothy, I am so sorry you are going through this again. It sure does take a lot of patience to be a patient! One day at a time and please remember to be good to yourself. Many Thanksgiving blessings to you and all good wishes for better days ahead.
