“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.”
~ Melody Beattie, via Rod MacIver, as quoted in Heron Dance Issue 62: A Poet’s Moods

Learning to live from this place of Gratitude is most fulfilling. For we then begin to see how life itself flows from the point of gratitude..
