"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melodie Beattie
Gratitude is my favorite reciept.
I wish I were better at expressing it because frequently I feel like this:
" I awoke this morning with a devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would add family to friends as well, although, they are generally one in the same.
