More and more


“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.” — Melody Beattie

More and more to be thankful for today-

time to organize,

time to pray,

time to read,

time to play,

time to talk,

time to hug,

time to take a deep breath,

time to live!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am blessed,
I am blessed,
Every day that I live I am blessed.
When I wake up in the morning 'til I lay my head to rest
I am blessed,
I am blessed!
