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
