The Art of Gratitude

~ Gottfried

The thing I’m most grateful for right now is elastic waistbands. Good mashed potato is one of the great luxuries of life. Good fries can be eaten as a stand-alone, it doesn’t need any sauce to support. After a good dinner, one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. Goats are like mushrooms. Because if you shoot a duck, I’m scared of toasters. That’s why you acknowledge a cat first when you walk into a room.

The more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for. Gratitude turns into enough. Don’t pray when it rains, if you don’t pray when the sun shines. If each day is a gift, I would like to know where I can return Mondays.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is so called because we are all thankful that it only comes once a year. You can’t stand in gratitude if you’re stuck in victimhood.

I feel a very unusual sensation. If it’s not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude. Though I am grateful for the blessings of wealth, it hasn’t changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground, I’m just wearing better shoes.

Gratitude is like gravy, put it on everything. I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not gifting it. I cook with wine, sometimes I then add it to food. Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on

Get drunk
