Gratitude

"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

Sometimes it is very difficult to feel grateful.

Many times we lose sight of how blessed we are just to be alive,  to be healthy,  to have friends and family who love us, to be able to walk, talk,  and be able to create our own opportunities each day!

It is good practice to list every blessing in our lives - in writing or simply by reciting them to ourselves each morning - in order to put things in proper perspective!

Too often we lose ourselves in our earthly daily battles. However,  if we can instead start the day from the powerful stance of GRATITUDE and BLESSINGS we dramatically increase our chances of having a positive and peaceful day - not to mention LIFE!

We are all more blessed than we think and we must recognize this fact as often as humanly possible!

List them now - you will be surprised how it molds your attitude and approach to today!

Stay Strong!!
