Greetings to each of you, wherever you may be! I’m wishing you a blessed season of gratitude and Lights, despite so many things that might make our hearts and minds heavy.

Sometimes small practices help to re-center amidst the swirl, allowing a more genuine insight on the next step or action or way to help … or just reduce the sense of anxiety or stress.

This is but one bit of inspiration, from Melodie Beattie, that can help with those small inner shifts that can have bigger ripple effects.

“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
