Very appropriate on this day, Jennie. Charles does it again! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
He does, and very appropriate today! Best to you, John.
Happy Thanksgiving 💜
Thank you, Ritu! 🦃
That is one of my favorite quotes from John F. Kennedy that I often repeat and have in a frame on my desk. As today is also the 55th year anniversary of his assassination, I will share another of his quotes that is fitting for the holiday. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” My Gram always said that “Thanksgiving should be filled with two things, thanks and giving.” Thank-you Jennie and Charles for this inspiring post. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Ellen. I’m glad you added Kennedy’s quote. That one is outstanding. And, words that inspire and remind us to live with gratitude can’t be stressed enough. Your Gram knew that well. 🙂
These quotes are perfect!!
I thought so, too. Charles French has the best.
Yes – thank you Jennie!
You’re welcome, Opher!
I am so thankful for having you in my life, Jennie. You have been a constant friend and inspiration to me as a fellow (at least former) teacher. I want to wish you the very best life has to offer for today, tomorrow and always, Anne
Thank you so much, Anne! Your kind words are appreciated, and the feeling is mutual! 🙂
Thank you, Jennie and Charles, for reminding us that Thanksgiving is not just about Turkey, dressing, and all the fixings that we look forward at t his time of year! Sometimes we focus on all the things we don’t have or would like to change, but the most important thing is to remember the blessings of love, friendship, and the kindness of others, and be thankful and grateful. Karen 🙂
Amen, Karen! You said it so very well! 😀
A marvelous, and perfectly timed collection of quotes, Jennie. Thanks for sharing them. Have a fabulous Friday. Hugs.
😀😀😀
Thank you so much!
You are welcome!
Very timely quotes, Jennie. I especially like the poetry of Marcel Proust’s quote.
I agree!
Great quotes, Jennie.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you, L. Marie. Thanksgiving was wonderful! 🙂
Great quotes with double meaning including JFK, Jr since his death was on 11/25. I liked the first one the best! 🌟✳️
