Things to Be Thankful For Today


Being able to express your thoughts and feelings freely should never be taken for granted.

                        Without pain, it would be difficulty to appreciate life’s joys.

        Being able to wake up without immense fear frees us up to really live life.


Being able to step outside to breathe in fresh air is a good reminder how many little things we should be thankful for.



                     Pets offer one of the best examples of unconditional love.


Often, it’s the quality of friendships, not the quantity.


 Even if your health isn’t great, it could be worse and you likely still have some working parts to be thankful for.

“Fashions fade, style is eternal.” ― Yves Saint Laurent



 “Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.”

― Yves Saint Laurent



“Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always twenty times better.”
― Margaret Oliphant


“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”
― Coco Chanel



“Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”
― Anna Wintour



“[how can anyone] be silly enough to think himself better than other people, because his clothes are made of finer woolen thread than theirs. After all, those fine clothes were once worn by a sheep, and they never turned it into anything better than a sheep.”
― Thomas More, Utopia



THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
