Focus on one each day as you remember to go there.

“I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness -
 it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude”.
 - Brene Brown

“Gratitude locks in the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. 
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend”. 
- Melody Beattie

“Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions.
 The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” 
 - Zig Ziglar

"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice." 
- Meister Eckhart

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others."      
- Cicero
