the gifts of 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 to clarity..

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow..


~ Melody Beattie ~


Consciously cultivating thankfulness is a journey of the soul, one that begins when we look around us and see the positive effects that gratitude creates..

We do this by noticing those around us to whom gratefulness comes easily and realize how much we enjoy being around these people..

We also tap into these gifts as we think about times in the past when we felt particularly grateful..

Remember peacefulness and the delight that accompanied those times?

As we come to understand the gifts of gratitude, we realize that being grateful is not something remote or foreign, but
part of the natural joyful expression of our full HUMANNESS..



Happiness, the sheer joy of being alive, is within our reach..

All we need is an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE..

Gratitude creates happiness because it makes us feel full, complete; gratitude is a realization that we have everything we need, at least this moment..

It's magic key~all you need to do is use it, and the world is suddenly transformed into a beautiful wonderland, in which you are invited to play..

That's because, like most of the great simple truths, gratitude is stunningly simple..

This is not to say, however, that an attitude of distractions, obfuscation, and negative attitudes from our upbringings may get in the way..

But all you really have to do is make a commitment to do it, and the magic will yours..
