“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
I saw this quote recently and have been thinking about how grateful I am. Through the past year of suck, I have been continually reminded what an amazing family and group of friends I have. You’ve listened to me complain, you’ve been my shoulder to cry on, asked me how I’m doing even when it was hard to know what to say… The older I get the more I realize how lucky I am to have the friends and family I do. To those of you who have been there and supported me (you know who you are), I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know what I’d do or where I’d be without you.
