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.

the greatest fear of humankind,
and death the greatest unknown.

lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.
You don't need a reason to be happy,
just a choice.
