This day we celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the Netherlands. Here some thoughts on thankfulness:

-Thankfulness is the mother of all virtues.
(Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman statesman and writer 106 b.C. - 43 b.C.)


-Thankfulness is a little flower that only grows in a few gardens.
(Guido Gezelle, Flemish poet and writer 1830-1899)


-Although human beings naturally are not inclined to thankfulness, a person feels more hurt by the ingratitude of others then by anything else.
(Friedrich Hebbel, German writer 1816-1863)

A nice excercise for today: think of as many things as possible that you can be thankful for. And... how does that feel? If you are a believer: address your gratitude towards God. Everybody a good Thanksgiving!
