“Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

–Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1821-1881, Writer<\/p>\n

Haven’t you sometimes had what seemed like a terrible experience turn out to be the best thing for you and at that point you were grateful for it? Maybe you even said; “I wouldn’t change a thing about it”.<\/p>\n

The common denominator for these experiences seems to be “Gratitude”. <\/p>\n

“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<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

–Melodie Beattie<\/p>\n

So what, or who, could you be most grateful for today and who could you share that with?<\/p>\n
