For me, the difference between thanksgiving and thanks-living is between

giving thanks on one day and living thanks always. 
Thanksgiving is a terminal event. 
Thanks living is a way of life.

~ Richard J. Fairchild

 

 

Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity:

it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.

~ William Faulkner

Emily was our hostess for Book Club this week.

Our speaker at Rotary this week was the new National Deputy Director of the Peace Corps, Carrie Hessler-Radelet.

Mike Moore and Gretchen Berggren

Carrie, our speaker, surprised us all by announcing that Gretchen had been one of her former professors at Harvard and wondered if we all realized what an icon Gretchen still is in the medical and health field!
(Yes!  We do!!!)


Our Dine-Around tonight was at Eric’s and Casey’s home.
Casey is our youngest Rotary member.

There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed.
If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude

~ Robert Brault
