“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~

One of the best things you can do for someone else is to appreciate them. A simple thank you can travel a long way. These same people who drive us toward our better selves sometime need some help themselves. Making them understand how important they are to us is often just what the doctor ordered! So get in the habit of giving these people a call. Shoot them a quick e-mail. If you want to go old school a hand written letter of a card is so memorable. The act of saying thank-you won’t just lift up the individual you sat it to. The act of saying thank-you also lifts you as well! Give it a try today!

PS: I know I miss days from time to time and for that you have my sincerest apologies and promise to do better! I’d like to express my gratitude to all of you who stick with me through my ups and downs, through my periods of consistency and lack-there-of. Sharing these messages with you all on a day to day basis and the favorable, supportive responses I receive combine to make up one of the parts of my life I enjoy the most. Thank-you so much for being a part of it!

John Dryden

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
G.K. Chesterton

No one who achieves success does so without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.
Alfred North Whitehead

You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.
Alphonse Karr

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.
Alan Cohen
