"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 -
For those of you who know me this day has a special significance. It is a celebration of life. I am proud to be an American and pray daily for those who are defending my life and the lives of my family.
At the beginning of 2007, I decided to keep a record of something positive for every day of the year (a celebration for each day). When I started most days were easy but some days I had to think really hard to find my positive. I have now progressed to the point that I have to pick and choose from all of the positives I experience each day. I find myself so busy living that I have to make time to document my activities.
I am thankful that I now view life with objectivity and happiness. I look forward to each sunrise and laugh with others and at myself daily. I celebrate with friends and cherish each moment. America the Beautiful now has a different significance for me. I wish you all a Happy 4th of July and the freedom to allow yourself to enjoy each day to the fullest.
