Gratitude – The Art of Being Thankful – My Book Review

 

“We can change the significance of our words by the way they sound, by the way we use them.”

Books that can make tears escape the corners of your eyes rank high among my favorite and most memorable reads. Vickie Phelps little powerhouse of a book on Gratitude – The Art of Being Thankful did just that – made a few tears escape down my cheeks. As I was reading Vickie’s words I realized I had a lot to be extremely grateful for from

You can tell that Vickie, herself, has a lot to be thankful for in life and that showing gratitude and being grateful is the process that you learn with nearly every breath of life.

Weaving and relating some great enlightening quotes from authors like Marcel Proust, to Charles Dickens, to Albert Schweitzer, to Bible scriptures, the idea of gratitude shows readers that being grateful is a way of life you chose – not one of constant complaining, being down on yourself, and not taking any small things for granted. Vickie leads readers to understand that everything we take for granted we should be grateful for.

Thank you, Vickie, for reminding me that I indeed still have a lot to be grateful for.

“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” – Charles Dickens
