Weekly Meeting - March 19, 2025 at 12:30 pm (Hybrid)
(GRATITUDE)
 
Gratitude involves showing appreciation for the things in life that are meaningful or valuable to you. Taking a moment to notice and acknowledge the things you’re grateful for each day can brighten your outlook, boost your mood, and help you feel more positive in the face of challenges.
 
 
“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well” – Voltaire
 
“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around” - Willie Nelson
 
“We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives” – John F. Kennedy
 
“Gratitude is riches, complaint is poverty” – Doris Day
 
We enjoyed a wonderful time together, engaging in conversation, sharing laughter, and expressing our gratitude. Among the reasons for our appreciation were the health care system, our friends, our country, the inclusivity and strength of Canadians,  and the care and concern shown by Rotarians. We have so much to be thankful for.
