Gratitude

Laton and I have noticed a side effect of this quarantine is a feeling of gratefulness. We are grateful for our home, our friends, our family, food, gas and the fact that we still love each other!  

One of my goals this year is to reread my Simple Abundance series by Sarah Ban Breathnach.  Today’s reading referenced a gratitude journal. Today’s essay starts with the following. 

“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 of tomorrow.” -Melody Beattie
