Quotes 

• Dr. Meredith Grey : Gratitude. Appreciation Giving thanks. No matter what words you use, it all means the same thing: happy. We're supposed to be happy. Grateful; for friends, family, happy to just be alive. Weather we like it or not. Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.

• Dr. Miranda Bailey : Not a fan of Thanksgiving?

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Not a whole hell of a lot to be thankful for.

  Dr. Miranda Bailey : I like Thanksgiving! A day people spend with their families. Too much family time triggers depression, repressed childhood rage, bitter disputes over the remote and way too much alcohol. People get stupid, people get violent, people get hurt.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : And that's a good thing because...

  Dr. Miranda Bailey : Surgeries Grey. Lots and lots of surgeries.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Oh, I never thought of that.

  Dr. Miranda Bailey : The stupidity of the human race, Grey-be thankful for that.
