Soon, summer vacations bump into us, and the holidays too. Like seasons, life comes and goes very fast. Hence the reason why it is critical to pause and reflect on the blessings we have in our lives.
John F Kennedy, former US president, was once quoted saying, "It is a must for us to pause and give thanks to the people who make a difference in our lives." This is a very undisputable statement that can only be appreciated by action. Here below are some more thanksgiving quotes you can reflect on and apply in your life during the holidays.

"An attitude of gratitude unleashes the fullness of life. It transforms what is in our hands into abundance. It replaces denial with acceptance, chaos with order and confusion with clarity. It is capable of raising a feast out of a meal, a home out of a house, and a friend out of a stranger. It makes sense of the past, bringing peace into our today, while creating a vision for our tomorrow."~ by Melody Beattie
All of us have something to be grateful for.
