Gratitude

Today my thoughts turn to gratitude.  I fill my journal pages with those things I am thankful for…
I am grateful for waking up this morning.
I am grateful for my health and well being.
I am grateful for the opportunities this day holds out to me.
I am grateful for…my goal today is to list 100 things I am grateful for.

“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 (author of Co-Dependent No More, 1987.

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” — Meister Echkhart (c 1260-c 1328; German theologian, philosopher and mystic)

I am grateful for the opportunity to share the wisdom of these quotes with you, and am also grateful to your responses when words have touched you in your day.

Here’s to a day filled with love and gratitude—the two greatest healing forces on the planet!

Enjoy your day!
