"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
I love Melody Beattie!!! Her words have taught me so much about life and recovery and relationships. I would recommend her work to anyone who struggles with self. This is a quote used in the gratitude group at work, one of my favourite of the "feel good" groups. Turns what we have into enough....a nice thought! Who wants to live a life unfulfilled all of the time? I may never have all that is out there, but I already have all that I need. I have a family that loves me, a home that holds me, a job that challenges me and health that makes new days possible. I am open to the gift of accepting gratitude into my life each and every day. It has brought me through some dark times already. I am grateful to you who care to read these entries and for my ability to put thoughts into words as it helps me and occasionally others.
Thanks for all days!!
