Thanksgiving Day may be an annual celebration; however, for many of us, being thankful and expressing gratitude is a daily ritual.
My favorite quote serves as a reminder of role models and aspects of people who I am grateful for and how I wish to inspire others. It is my mission every day and one of my communication goals in every piece of art I create. “Be the reason someone believes in the Goodness of people”.
According to my research the quote is attributed to

My Heartfelt Gratitude
I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to create and maintain this website The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS, with an online art gallery filled with positive art by extraordinary artists, articles about art and healing, world changers, and nonprofit art programs that are truly living in serving others, for whom we all can be grateful. I’m also thankful that I focus on curating many positive, life-affirming online exhibitions. The exhibitions bring together artists from around the world who share my belief that art has the ability to heal the creator as well as viewers.
A Few More Gratitude Quotes
“So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.” ~ Helen Keller
“What a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” ~ As Marcus Aurelius
“I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
“Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced & discharged & used up in order to exist at all.” ~ William Faulkner
“If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.” ~ W. Clement Stone
Normally Pinehurst, NC only makes the news in terms of golf and the US Men’s or Women’s Open.
This Sunday, however, the lead story on CNN that morning was the fact that people had shot at the electric grids. This cost us to lose our electricity from Saturday evening for four days.
This changed a great deal of my thankful moments. No stranger to loss of electricity., this was different. Last January we lost electricity and even now though it was much colder, it didn’t upset me. That was an act of Mother Nature.
Saturday was planned, by whom we don’t know. My street has a lot of families with kids ranging from 3-18.
During the time period I felt like my grandmother must have at times. Why?
At 71 I was thankful not to have grown up with a moment in time in America having lost our lights because they were shot out by people who planned it and knew it what it would disturb and how much it would cost.
I was thankful for light.
And when we got the lights back it was weird. I am a news person and while strange I was happy to live in a time when I could read what had happened in a country with a free press, so far.
I have not yet painted my thoughts. Still thinking.
