Asperger Mom

As Thanksgiving approaches, I think about all that I am Thankfull for. Just a few years ago, my son had a tooth pick rammed into his food while jumping from couch to couch. His obsessive compulsive cleaning of the wound helped it heal quickly and he didn’t have to go to the doctor!

This year we are making a trip to my grandparents (both 90 years old.) It’s been a while since we have been down so the family and puppy will be driving to their home with a ham and a turkey breast and potato casserole…

In honor of Thanksgiving I am going to post some of my favorite quotes:

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind. ~Malayan Proverb

Unselfish and noble actions are the most radiant pages in the biography of souls. ~David Thomas

Not what we give,
But what we share,
For the gift
without the giver
Is bare.
~James Russell Lowell

Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone. ~G.B. Stern

I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks. ~William Shakespeare

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you. ~John E. Southard

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. ~G.K. Chesterton

I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom. ~Author Unknown

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. ~Oscar Wilde

Gratitude is the memory of the heart. ~Jean Baptiste Massieu, translated from French

How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a weary world.
~William Shakespeare

It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. ~Author Unknown

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. ~Mark Twain

When kindness touches it!
~George Elliston

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilder

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.
– Cicero

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
– Albert Schweitzer

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.
– Oprah Winfrey

Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build their philosophy of life.
– A. J. Cronin

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

Have a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all!
