Gratitude quotes to help you focus on being grateful. Grateful people are happy people, so developing gratitude brings happiness!
Today I wanted to post about gratitude. Since it is Thanksgiving month, rather than highlight one quote, I am going to post several that I like.

Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.
Commentary on that–I fond this on Pinterest and the comment on it talked about raising four children in a one bedroom house. This idea is something I often think about. My grandmother raised seven children in a very small house with only one bathroom. There were four bedrooms–three for the kids. She also did this in Wyoming where it is real winter for about 8 months of the year…in other words, very little playing outside happening. I try to remember this when I start to think about what I “need” in my house.
