“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.”
A friend sent this and I wanted to share it. Seems I have a lot to learn about really being grateful, about enjoying the now instead of regretting the past or dreading the future.
My wish is that you would enjoy your time together tomorrow, that you would express how you really feel to those you encounter, that you would fix broken things and strengthen good things, that you would treasure the simple things that are eternal and relegate the stressful things to a less important place in your life for at least one day.
I had dinner with a friend this evening, it was a very special time, the food was great, the rushing sweep of the day slowed to a crawl and peace reigned. Life can keep surprising us if and when we let it happen.
Love to all,
Thank you family, friends for your being a part of my life and bringing great meaning to it when I will listen or be aware.
