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.
