Salt and Pepper

 

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you can share it with family and friends- even if its a new family and friend. Looking forward to new memories.

Melody Beattie, a noted self-help author, often stresses the importance of gratitude.                       

She says, "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."                      

As we approach Thanksgiving Day, let us commit to being grateful 365 days of the year
