Triple Inspiration: Thanksgiving Edition


I've been teaching all my students about gratitude this week, and will be doing next week. I'll write another post on the importance it has played in my life tomorrow (aka I will write it today and it'll be posted tomorrow!)

So this week I'd like to put the focus on feeling grateful, using some quotes to inspire you. Technically Thanksgiving of course celebrates the harvest and the sharing between two completely different cultures, but it's also a great time to take a moment of feeling grateful for what we already have, before heading out to become the mass-pre-Christmas-consumers that we are.

Get Productive!
"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)

Get Happy!
"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, 
but rejoices for those which he has."
(Epictetus) 

Get Inspired!
"There is not a more pleasing exercise of the mind than gratitude.  It is accompanied with 
such an inward satisfaction that the duty is sufficiently rewarded by the performance."  
(Joseph Addison)
