Gratitude
unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough
…and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order,
confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal
into a feast,
a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today
and creates a vision
for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie

May we each be grateful for today. Wishing you a beautiful week.

Inspiring!!!
I’ve recently been meditating more on gratitude. It’s so relevant but it appears to many as just a very small aspect of our emotional territory. If only we could all see the perspective of Melody Beattie❤
I begin each day with gratitude and it changed my life. Grateful for you .

What a beautiful thought. We remain grateful for so many things even though many in the world around us are faltering in their faith that tomorrow brings hope. Thanks for keeping our spirits bolstered dear Phoebe.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Beautiful! I practice gratitude everyday. Life feels good and enough no matter the circumstances. 🦋
I am grateful …… everyday, for the smallest things in life that can often be taken for granted. I am thankful for you ….. touching and saving lives! Many hugs! <3
