Thoughts for Thursday is a new meme hosted by Musings on Fantasia and LKHill.  In this meme, we share thoughts or quotes that we know or have recently come across. Each week there is a specific subject or theme. These can be quotes from books, quotes by famous people, (quotes by YOU, perhaps ;D). Anything from anywhere is game, though we do ask that you keep your quote to a few sentences at most. Don't quote, for example, entire passages of a book or essay. These can be funny quips, cool sayings, hair-raising antidotes, movie lines, any kind of quote you can think of!

Readers may respond by either commenting on the quotes I put forward or contributing a quote of their own. 

Just have fun, collect awesome sayings by awesome people, and try to be inspired!

This week's theme is quotes about gratitude! Perhaps this is a week too late, but with the holiday season upon us, it's very relevant! 

People complain about the bad things that happen to 'em that they don't deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things. --Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction. --Harry A. Ironside

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. --Johannes A. Gaertner

Gratitude is the memory of the heart. --Massieu

I was angry because I had no shoes, but then I met a man who had no feet. --Anonymous
