Gratitude

Happy New Year Everyone!
This quote came to me from the Dave's Garden weekly newsletter. Every gardener must be familiar with the website. It answers every question a gardener has (well, almost. it does not do much for the question of what tool to use to dislodge the gunk in the bottom of the oven). At any rate, the quote is beautiful. we could all stand more gratitude.


The essence of gratitude is expressed in a quote by Melodie Beattie frequently passed around via e-mail. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
