There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.
~ Jo Walton
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
~ Walt Whitman
Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them. Our own noise blots out the sounds and silences of the outdoor world; and talking leads almost inevitably to smoking, and then farewell to nature as far as one of our senses is concerned. The only friend to walk with is one who so exactly shares your taste for each mood of the countryside that a glance, a halt, or at most a nudge, is enough to assure us that the pleasure is shared.
~ C.s. Lewis
Even the smallest tender mercy can bring peace when recognized and appreciated.
~ Richelle E. Goodrich
If you want to know how negative you are, pay attention to how much you hate negativity in other people. Fragile, artificial positivity needs always to be surrounded by more positivity in order to stay positive, but the ability to be positive, happy, and even, at times, appreciative around 'negative people' is the mark of real positivity.
~ Criss Jami
Words have power, and when you speak you give them life. Speak into the atmosphere. Speak into existence what you believe, desire, dream, and hope.
~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana
Love is a byproduct of deep appreciation.
~ Debasish Mridha
Appreciation is a better stimulant than money. Money boosts the ego while appreciation touches the soul.
Criticism always produces negative reactions, but appreciation always creates positive actions.
Roots never get the appreciation that a flower does, but that doesn’t make them envious.
Start your day with appreciation and gratitude.
FACING LIFE’S TRIALS, CHALLENGES AND DIFFICULTIES, IS THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH LIFE.
~ Auliq Ice
Pain dutifully reminds me that the world is terribly imperfect, but it faithfully helps me appreciate the world on those days when it’s a little closer to being perfect.
~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Never ever seek for gratefulness from mankind, you shall always see ungratefulness. Do what you must do as a solemn duty and that is what you have to do!
~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Love holds the key to every heart.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Be grateful for every sacred breath.
One of the fascinating things about our lives - and minds - is that tend to spend years wishing and wanting others and the world around to see in us that which we ourselves do not appreciate fully.
~ Rasheed Ogunlaru
Lord I thank you for the gift of breath, eyes to see, ears to hear, tongue to taste, nose to smell, mouth to speak, face to smile, voice to sing, body to dance, legs to walk, mind to think and hands to write.
Lord I thank you blessing me with food, clothing and shelter.
Lord I thank you for the gift of breath, eyes to see, ears to hear, tongue to taste, nose to smell; mouth to speak, face to smile, voice to sing, body to dance, legs to walk, mind to think and hands to write.
Gratitude is a spiritual heaven.
Gratitude is a gladness of soul.
Every man whose tastes have been allowed to develop in wrong directions, or in whom the best tastes have failed of higher perfection, loses thereby from the inner joy and outer value of his whole life. Every good taste is a source and guarantee of happy healthy hours and days, and thus of the enrichment and elevation of life. A reasonable capacity to appreciate music and art quite suffices to enrich life and exercise a wholesome influence upon character. The taste for good reading is inseparable from a taste for good thinking.
~ Edward O. Sisson
Not having money to spend doesn’t mean we can’t have well-spent moments every day. (42)
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
Never turn your back to those who have faced your problems on your behalf. Never shut your mouth on those who have opened their hearts to receive you!
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Before you can positively and passionately pursue what your heart love to do, you must first be grateful to the one who gave you such a heart to love such a thing!
It is so easy at times for a lonely individual to begin fantasizing about what the people outside are saying about him and, in result, irrationally and fearfully, and sometimes angrily, fancy himself a villain.
Gratitude is the best food and fuel to start anything that you need to do - it will nourish and sustain you...and others too. Hankering will leave you hungry - or with with heart, head or belly ache - and tends to have or leave a sour or bitter taste too.
The metamorphosis of your life begins with your mental appreciation for the cocoon stage of your journey. The adversities, the struggles, the perils of life are what either destroy your motivation or encourage your transformation to become what you were truly born to be. A WINNER!
~ Dewayne Owens
Without a regular pay for two years, I appreciate the timeless provisions of God.
I can write three hundred and sixty-five grateful thanks. Cultivate the habit to write gratitude daily.
The joy of living is the gratitude of the moment.
Be glad for your sacred days on earth.
If you have life, you have everything.
Embrace faith, hope and love.
Seek God every morning.Trust God every moment.
Be happy, be joyful.
To God be the glory, great things He has done and greater things He will do.
My heart is filled with thankfulness to God.
Lord I thank you for the gift of life.
