What are we quoting this week?
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and 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.”
– Melody Beattie
Starting at the end...with outcomes!
1 年As I was growing up, my parents were definitely sticklers for good manners. It seems to me that they paid particular attention to making sure we always said "thank you" at the right moments. I remember sometimes thinking "but I am not thankful for this food" or "I didn't ask for this thing". In time, I grew to understand the value of hearing the words "thank you" when it was directed to me. I also grew to appreciate the smile and returned good will of a simple "thank you" genuinely spoken. For me, expressing genuine gratitude is one of the simple joys of life. Thank you for listening!
