Newporters Say Thank You: 30 Days Of Gratitude

NEWPORT, RI — This November, Patch is celebrating "30 Days of Gratitude," stories about living with gratitude — in simple terms, a deliberate choice to see the goodness and joy in your life and to wish the same for your neighbors.

Living with gratitude is a matter of continually counting one's blessings while at the same time recognizing that the source of goodness in one's life is other people.

Earlier this month, we asked Rhode Islanders to share who or what they were grateful for. Here's what your neighbors in Newport had to say.

Thank you to all veterans for putting themselves in harms way for us.

—Joan

My message of gratitude is to Mrs Betty Seaman Young for always helping the homeless and needy people in and around the Newport community.

—Tuesday Randolph

To all the healthcare personnel who are working with COVID-19 patients

—Joan Frances McCarthy

I’m grateful for too many people and organizations to list here, but this morning I was reminded of people who add immensely to my quality of life.

—Elaine Williams
