Create Your Vision

"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, best-selling author and journalist

I am overflowing with gratitude today. There is so much truth in the quote above. I have experienced all of these at one time or another and I'm sure there is more to come. I never thought my past would finally make sense to me. I have peace in my heart. And, most importantly, I have a clear vision for my tomorrow.

It's important for me to remember that it hasn't always been this way. It is wonderful to be able to discuss peace, acceptance, and vision but I must always remember where I came from. I used to portray myself as a poor victim who always got the short end of the deal. I didn't like taking responsibility for my own actions and I didn't want to work for anything rewarding. It's a good thing that my attitude has been adjusted appropriately. Otherwise, I would have missed out on the great living experience I am having right now.

Today I choose an attitude of gratitude, knowing that the Universe is sending only good things my way. Blessing all!
