Thanksgiving - Every Day

When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength.
Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself.
- Tecumseh

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, Thank you, that would suffice.
- Meister Eckhart

Affirmation:
I Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving.
I have gratitude for EVERYTHING that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.
I give thanks for the joys and the sufferings, the moments of peace and the flashes of anger,
the compassion and the indifference, the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear.
I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

April Fool

April Fool's Day is a 600 year old tradition. At its best, this tradition is a reminder not to take oneself, or one's sense of propriety, too seriously.

The moment you start seeing life
as non-serious, a playfulness,
all the burden on your heart disappears.
All the fear of death, of life,
of love - everything disappears.
- Osho

Today is your day to laugh at life,
laugh at what's funny - laugh at what's sad,
laugh loud - laugh often,
laugh at me - laugh at you - laugh at life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Just stop it. Seriously.
Whatever it is. Just stop it.
If only for an hour, a day, a week.
Stop doing it long enough to get a glimpse
of what the change would actually look like.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

Life is too important to be taken seriously.
- Oscar Wilde
