These Thanksgiving Quotes Capture the True Meaning of the Holiday

When your family and friends gather round the Thanksgiving table this year, before you dig into that pumpkin pie, grab yourself a glass of wine and engage in the time-honored tradition of not only toasting your loved ones, but also sharing what you're thankful for. These healing (and occasionally funny) Thanksgiving quotes, blessings, and sayings will remind everyone that besides football, turkey and all the fixins', the true meaning of the holiday is gratitude. And, okay, did we mention pie? Oh, and these heartfelt quotes happen to make great Instagram captions, too if you find yourself posting a pic of your decadent spread. Need a good place to start? Of course, we're a bit biased, but we love this reminder from Oprah: "Focusing on one thing that you are grateful for increases the energy of gratitude and rises the joy inside yourself."
