Gratitude unlocks 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. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie

A Gentle Reminder to say “Thank You”
by a good friend of Feed Your Good Dog!
A Child’s Blessing
Pure Gratitude Simply Stated
Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for the world so sweet.
Thank you for the birds that sing.
Thank you God for everything.
Thank you (not “thanks,” that is like saying yeah instead of yes) for reading the following.
A “thank you” is a gift. I feel good about giving one or receiving one. Saying “thank you” is civil, charming and just plain good manners. If you have a dog, observe their behavior, they are always saying “thank you” in their way.
Giving a “thank you” is a positive exchange for the giver and the recipient. The giver of the “thank you” is recognizing what a spirit or person has done for them or how they have helped them. The recipient of a “thank you” receives the benefit of being appreciated for what they have done. We all want to feel appreciated. People notice when a “thank you” is not extended, it can feel painful and sad.
Some people are so used to texting that to exert the physical energy to open their mouth and say “thank you” takes too much effort. Others are too busy with their lives and feel they do not have the time or it is not important to share a sincere “thank you” or write a “thank you” note. Make the time, it is important and will be a positive reflection on you.
Recently, has someone helped you in some way, bought you a gift, extend a kindness? If so, did you thank them properly?
Who did you say “thank you” to today? A “thank you” is uplifting…please feel free to leave a comment and share how you have recently thanked someone.
Thank you!

Tomorrow we celebrate the 233rd anniversary of Independence Day. On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress. Its purpose…to declare the then thirteen American colonies independent states and, accordingly, no longer under the British Empire. What a huge risk on the part of each individual delegate, especially since they were British subjects and such action would be considered treason, the penalty for which was death by hanging.
All 56 members of the Second Continental Congress knew the risk they were taking, but also knew that they needed to be free from England’s tight reins, and agreed to adopt the Declaration of Independence. They knew by doing so they risked everything, including their lives. Indeed, among other atrocities suffered by the members, 5 were later caputured by the British and died after being tortured. All for liberty.
Since then, many brave men and women have been wounded or died, and their families have suffered in order that our liberties survive. This July 4th, when you are with family and friends, remember those 56 patriots who took a noble stand and paid a price for freedom 233 years ago, as well as all of those brave patriots since then who have sacrificed, and are sacrificing, on our behalf to keep us free and safe.
