I asked those who would be celebrating with us to email me their favorite Thanksgiving quote a few days prior to the festivities, giving me to time to get my creative juices in gear!<br \/>\nOnce received, using a celebratory font, I printed them out and placed one quote with each place setting.  When we sat down to dine, we read the quotes aloud and guessed who they belonged to!!!  What fun!  Lots of laughs, which added to our feelings of gratitude.<br \/>\n<strong>Here are this year&#8217;s 12 Thanksgiving quotes!<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat we&#8217;re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?&#8221; ~ Erma Bombeck<br \/>\nThanksgiving dinner takes 18 hours to prepare. They are consumed in 12 minutes. Half-time takes 12 minutes. This is not coincidence. ~ Erma Bombeck<br \/>\nIf the only prayer you said in your whole life was, &#8220;thank you,&#8221; that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart<br \/>\nGod gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say &#8220;thank you?&#8221; ~William A. Ward<br \/>\nBe aware of what you have in hand rather than to be for what you don&#8217;t. Everyone will be grateful to what you have.&#8221; ~Kurt Avish<br \/>\nA thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues. ~Cicero<br \/>\nGot no checkbooks, got no banks.<br \/>\nStill I&#8217;d like to express my thanks.<br \/>\nI got the sun in the morning and the moon at night. ~Irving Berlin<br \/>\nGratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie<br \/>\nAs we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy<br \/>\nThere is no sincerer love than the love of food.  ~ George Bernard Shaw<br \/>\nAn optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. ~ Irv Kupcinet<br \/>\nThanksgiving is America&#8217;s national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty. ~ Michael Dresser<br \/>\n<em>Spread the word &#8230; NOT the icing,<br \/>\nJanice Taylor<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Weight Loss Success Coach<br \/>\nwise * fun * utterly useful<\/em><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n<em>Curious about coaching?<\/em>  Janice Taylor can help you live your best life! <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Follow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>Join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kick_in_the_tush_club\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kick in the Tush Club<\/strong><\/a>: <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beliefnet\" title=\"Beliefnet\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Beliefnet<\/a> Chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Visit:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">www.OurLadyofWeightLoss.com<\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;Janice Taylor is a kooky kind of genius.
