Welcome to the Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm Andrew McGivern for December 26th.
Today is National Thank You Note Day. After gifts received, gratitude expressed.
And that brings us to today's quote from William Arthur Ward who once said:
"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

Ward's right. Gratitude unexpressed stays trapped inside. Useless. Wasted.
The gift only becomes real when given. Same with saying thank you.
Write it. Send it. Say it.
Today, write thank you notes. For yesterday's gifts. Or last year's kindness.
Gratitude felt is nice. Gratitude expressed? That's the gift.
Ward was right. Express your gratitude.
That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now but I'll be back tomorrow. Same Pod time, same Pod Station - with another Daily Quote.

Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm Andrew McGivern for December 25th.
Today is Christmas. A day of gifts, gatherings and plenty of food and drink. A day for family, friends and appreciating everything you have.
Whether you celebrate Christmas - the religious meaning behind today, the secular celebrations or not at all. Today is a good day to reflect and spend some time with those you love.
And that brings us to today's quote from Dale Evans Rogers who once said:
"Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas."
Rogers understood. Christmas isn't a date. It's a decision.
To love. To give. To act.
Every act of love makes Christmas real. Any day and every day.
So today, make Christmas real. Not with presents but with presence.
Love someone. Give something. Take action.
Rogers was right. That's Christmas.
That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now but I'll be back tomorrow. Same Pod time, same Pod Station - with another Daily Quote.
Merry Christmas.

If you celebrate Christmas... Happy Christmas Eve... hopefully you've got all your shopping done and don't need to venture out into the last minute shopping chaos. And if you are all done... hopefully it is all wrapped and ready to go so you aren't up late tonight wrapping presents.
Today is National Eggnog Day. Rich. Creamy. Traditional.
Whether you spike it with Rum or not, eggnog makes you feel warmer, cozier, and at home. Especially paired with some classic Christmas music which brings us to today's quote from actress Zooey Deschanel who oncesaid:
"One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth."

Eggnog has that same tradition. Not just the taste. But a feeling of warmth.
The warmth isn't temperature. It's family. Connection. Belonging.
Traditions carry warmth forward. Generation to generation.
So today, honor warmth. Make eggnog. Sing carols. Whatever tradition brings connection.
And if you just don't like eggnog or never got into that tradition substitute it with some hot chocolate with or without the Baileys Irish Cream... because Deschanel's right. Traditions carry warmth. Pass them on.
Merry Christmas Eve.
