Hiya, finally back, I posted this on another thread, but reading through this discussion, I felt I'd like to share these thoughts here as well, I've added to it some things I feel at this moment....

Say thank you, until you mean it.

Thank God, life, and the universe for everyone and everything sent your way, for the pain and injuries of the past become the experience by which we can embrace tomorrow.

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 can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.

It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the
unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.

Most importantly, it can turn an existence into a real life.
It helps mend disconnected situations into
important and beneficial lessons.

Gratitude helps us to make sense of our past, brings
peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Gratitude brings things back into balance.
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy.
There is no situationor circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible its influence.

We can start with who we are and what we have today, apply gratitude to all those wmall insignificant things and then let it work its magic.
Say thank you, until you mean it. If you say it long enough you will believe it.

Today, I will shine the transforming light of gratitude on all the
circumstances of my life.


For all of us, forever learning the language of "letting go"
affectionately, as always,
