As I was thinking about doing the quotes this week of Thanksgiving I had some conflicting thoughts. I appreciate and encourage thankfulness for many things be expressed on Thanksgiving as well as part of daily life. I thought of the first few Thanksgivings and as usual I think of the role the Native People had in that meal, as well as in the survival of the colony/colonies. So, this week I'll be picking some favorite Thanksgiving quotes and also including some Native American quotes as well.

Quite a few years ago I painted this as a Thanksgiving card. I wanted to capture the stone silo's before they disappeared. Sadly, they are gone now. You might be able to spot the Happy Thanksgiving erased up top on this picture. Smiles.

**************************************************************

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;

when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.

So long as mists envelop you, be still;

be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists

-- as it surely will.

Then act with courage

Ponca Chief White Eagle (1800's to 1914)

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. ~Aesop

None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. ~Fred De Witt Van Amburgh
