Quotes of Gratitude

Working on a project for a client this morning, and I came across several quotes about gratitude and thankfulness. I’ll spare you the things for which I’m thankful (though I’d love to hear yours), but I will share these with you. I don’t know about you, but Thanksgiving’s my favorite holiday of the year.

Oh, and PS: Want to make a big impression on customers, vendors, or prospects? Forgo the usual Christmas cards and send them a card at Thanksgiving. You’ll separate yours from the bushels of cards they get for the holidays, and it befits the season. Hand-written, hand-addressed, plus a first-class stamp – if you please. If you need some unforgettable and renewable stationery, look no further.
