be grateful .. There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Denis Waitley

It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

Wallace D. Wattles

I am grateful for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving is perpetual...
O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches.
No run on my bank can drain it
for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.

Henry David Thoreau

I'm thankful for a pair of shoes that feel really good on my feet; I like my shoes.

I'm thankful for the birds; I feel like they're singing just for me when I get up in the morning... Saying, 'Good morning, John. You made it, John.'

I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.

I'm thankful...

Johnny Cash

The Quran teaches that human beings were created by God for the purpose of
being grateful to him. ‘’It is he who brought you forth from the wombs of your
mothers when you knew nothing, and he gave you hearing and sight and intelligence
and affection so that you may give thanks (to God)’’ (Quran 16:78).
The Quran also explains that one of Satan’s main aims is to keep people
from being grateful. After God sent him out of the garden for his arrogance and
disobedience, Satan vowed in response: ‘’I will lie in wait for them (human beings)
on your straight way. Then I will assault them from in front of them and behind
them, from their right and their left. Nor will you find, in most of them, gratitude
(for your mercies)’’ (Quran 7:16-17).
