Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. –Melodie Beattie

This quote speaks volumes to my soul. Looking back on the past 7 months, I can see that I really need to remind myself of everything that makes my life worth living. The small victories, the insignificant details, and the humbling gestures from others are what have kept me going each day this year. My hope is that by writing them down, I will be forever appreciative of all that has been given to me and that those triumphs or random acts of kindness will never be forgotten.
