Gratitude

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.
