Time to reflect! We’ve now completed the first six months of 2023, also known as Q2 in business circles. It’s also the end of another week. What are you grateful for?
There are so many wonderful things: family, friends, the weekend, another fulfilling week… the list goes on.
As we think about the things we’re grateful for, we’ll share some thoughts about gratitude from writers and storytellers.
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.” — Neil Gaiman
“I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile.” — Charles de Lint
“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.” — Oscar Wilde
“New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.” — Kurt Vonnegut
“Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.” — Alice Walker
