"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
"If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor."
"Even in the trials of life, if we have eyes to see them, we can find good things everywhere we look."
"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."
"Joy is the simplest form of gratitude."
"The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves. We have had our summer evenings; now for October eves!"
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
"In school they told me 'Practice makes perfect.' And then they told me that nobody is perfect, so then I stopped practicing."
