I am grateful:
1. From today’s Language of Letting Go: “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
2. “It turns what we have into enough, and more.
3. “It turns denial into acceptance, chaosto order, confusion to clarity.
4. “It can turn a meal into a feast,
5. a house into a home,
6. a stranger into a friend.
7. “It turns problems into gifts,
8. failures into successes,
9. the unexpected into perfect timing,
10. and mistakes into important events.
11. “It can turn an existence into a real life,
12. and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons.
13. “Gratitude makes sense of our past,
14. brings peace for today,
15. and creates a vision for tomorrow.
16. “Gratitude makes things right.
17. “Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy.
18. “There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitude’s power.
19. “We can start with who we are and what we have *today *, apply gratitude, then let it work its magic.” Huge. Wow. Big. Didn’t really know this.
20. “Say thank you, until you mean it. If you say it long enough, you will believe it.
21. “Today, I will shine the transforming light of gratitude on all the circumstances of my life.”
22. I am grateful that I went with O and G and the girls to the park.
23. And that I had a park pass to use.
24. And that the storm passed and they got back in.
25. And that I read more of the important book.
26. And I’m grateful that I took my mother to the bank and shopping
27. And that she wasn’t in as much pain
28. And that I was nice to her
29. And that I get to be with her
30. And that eating veggies and getting fresh air started to turn my mood around
31. And that I’m not feeling anywhere near as badly as I was this morning
32. And that Ka called me!

34. And that will keep me clean too!
35. And that tomorrow I’ll get to the gym
36. And a meeting
37. And that K called
38. And she did change that meeting that happens to be so hard for me to get to! So now I’ll be able to get to it.
39. And the change is better for most of us anyway.
40. I’m thankful to God for every moment of peace He gives me
41. And to myself for every one of them I allow myself
