Gratitude and Reflection

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 brings a Vision for tomorrow.

-Melody Beattie

This time of year always excites me. I love to make goals and set my sights on the New Year and all that it will bring. However, I also think before we can look forward and get busy planning and Goal-setting, we really must look back at the past year to see what we have accomplished.


What have you accomplished this year? Just start writing- no matter how big or small- write it down-then give yourself a big pat on the back :)
