                      Thursday, September 18, 2014

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition 
of ``One Grateful Minute'', which will be observed at noon on September 
21, 2014, for a period of sixty seconds in conjunction with World 
Gratitude Day and the United Nations World Peace Day.
  With all that is going on in our world it is important for us to take 
this one minute out of our day to reflect and express gratitude for all 
that we have. This global initiative will allow us to all come together 
in shared gratitude and appreciation for all that is good in our lives.
  Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate at this time that we recognize the 
``One Grateful Minute'' initiative on September 21, and the positive 
impact that gratitude can have on our lives.
