A dozen sentiments that say it better than I. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Remember what the holiday means, and I’ll see you on Monday.
The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~H.U. Westermayer
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P. Powell
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin
Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. ~W.J. Cameron
Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt
We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. ~Author Unknown
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. ~Cicero
Stand up, on this Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been a better time, or a better place to live in. ~Phillips Brooks
None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. ~Fred De Witt Van Amburgh
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~W.T. Purkiser

Happy Thanksgiving, Sean! Liz has got me stashed away in her mother’s basement while she makes me my favorite pie. She thinks I don’t know that’s what she’s doing so don’t tell. Shhhhh! :-)
See you all on Monday! Eric.

So, over here in England is just another day – however I don’t need much excuse to celebrate so happy Thanksgiving!

I loved that! I love reading quotes and inspirational pieces. I AM a reading whore, as you well know.
gobble, gobble.
It is late in the day. My family ate hours ago, and we are all still replete – the pies have not yet been plundered, but they are shaking in their tins as I type, knowing the end is nigh.
Although much cooking was done before today, I was still busy in the kitchen – timing everything to come out at once, still hot, gravy still liquid (it congeals if one lets it sit too long…blech!), bread steaming from a re-warm (I baked it on Monday, it just wanted a little heating to give it a nice crust).
I was so busy, I didn’t have time until now to check my usual run of blogs. Busy, busy, busy…OK, I’ll cop to the fact that, after dinner and clean-up, while the Dutch apple crumb pie was baking (thank you, Mrs. Smith’s, for your frozen delights), I napped. And then Mum and I were terribly busy watching a ventriloquist act on TiVo.
I was delighted by your cartoon…hmm…seen it before…and awesome quotes.
Happy Thanksgiving, sugar, to you and yours. I’m blessed to know you, if only electronically, and thankful too.
Shade and Sweetwater,
K(who has enough leftovers to feed her family for the next week or so, providing they don’t mind turkey-something on a daily basis. I sense soup in our future)

Thanksgiving has to be my favorite holiday, out of the ones we do NOT celebrate here ;) I really love the concept of setting out time to give thanks for the good things in our lives. In fact, you and your quotes just inspired me to go make a post about it – thank you!

I have a few more:
“The poor man who is thankful for what he has , is far richer than than the wealthy merchant who curses what he is missing”
- Exed: 30:1
“Words of thanks can light a beacon of hope into the darkest of hearts”
- P. J. Thornwaite.
“If you have a roof over your head, and eat three squares a day, consider yourself lucky. You’re better off than 90% of the planet”
- Permon Niquist
“Only in knowing hunger, can we learn to be thankful”
- Traditional Huron Proverb.

(Okay…okay…I admit it…I was having some fun here. I just made up those quotes now, off the top of my head). ;-)
But you gotta admit…what they say still rings true!
