thankful {day 8}

‎'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 Beady

This has been one of "those days" where thankful just didn't come real easy.  It's not that anything super bad happened; I guess it just felt like it was a track meet.  But then a friend shared this quote, & I took a nice deep breath.  While I didn't get to everything that needed gettin' to, I didn't forget anybody anywhere, I got my run in, our bellies are full, & I am most thankful to be in my jammies. :o)
