Our Joyful'st Feast

Our Joyful'st Feast

" Now all our neighbour's chimneys smoke,

And Christmas blocks are burning;

The ovens they with baked meats choke,

And all their spits are turning.

Without the door let sorrow lie,

And if for cold it hap to die,

We'll bury 't in a Christmas pie,

And everymore be merry." by George Wither

"Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast." by Norman Vincent Peale

"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." by Melody Beattie
