Gratitude

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 Beattie  


There is a calmness to a life lived in Gratitude, a quiet joy.    
-RALPH H. BLUM
God has two dwellings: one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.   
-IZAAK WALTON
Gratitude is a twofold love-love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
-HENRY VAN DYKE
Just to be is a blessing.  Just to live is holy.
RABBI  ABRAHAM HESCHEL
You only live once- but if you work it right, once is enough.
-JOE E. LEWIS

After a First Friday and all the hectic chaos of getting ready, the piles, the mess, the last minute jitter's of not being ready on time...you always make it all worth it.  I'm always speechless (and you know that doesn't happen much!)  You make me realize that I love every single minute of it, and we thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts.
