MESSAGE #1583 HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Dr. Bob Emmons is a great guy, and not just because he is a Yankee fan. Dr. Emmons, from UC Davis is the leading expert in the field of gratitude in positive psychology, and the author of the book, “Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier.”

When I was just dating my wife Sarah, her family invited me to their house on Thanksgiving and I accepted. I wanted to bring something nice, but not the typical wine or pie…something unique. So I called on Dr. Emmons for a gratitude quote and he delivered. I printed it on small strips of paper and laminated them for everyone–instant bookmarks. I read the quote to everyone out loud and the bookmarks were a hit! And now I’m sharing the quote with you. Enjoy.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie
