Hello and welcome! Yay! It’s Friday! Thank you for visiting my blog. Today I have compiled a mix of quotes and poems with related topics and recipes. I know, it may seem a little strange, random and mismatched, but it’s well thought out. My friends would say it’s a Vashti-ism. Maybe it is, but I hope you enjoy it. ;D
Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings.

Ah! On Thanksgiving day…
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?
~ John Greenleaf Whittier
Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.
~ Theodore Roosevelt
Forever on Thanksgiving Day
The heart will find the pathway home.

Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live.
~ Jacqueline Winspear
If there’s someone that lives gracefully that would be Kim from The Kim Challenge

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.
~ Cicero
To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.
~ Johannes A. Gaertner
