Gratitude

There are two quotes I'd like to share with you this week of Thanksgiving. Two quotes, one from the author of "Codependent No More" and one from the Bible, both different yet similar. Both struck me as profound out of all the quotes I went through in search of these. Settle back a bit while I share them with you.

"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."
-----Melodie Beattie

"Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time."
-----Galatians 6:9

Scott and I would like to thank each and every one of you for allowing us the opportunity to follow our vision. Without you, our friends - from back in the day to newly made - we would've been lost long ago. We deeply appreciate your kindness, your advice and your goodwill.....thank you!

Everyone have a blessed and beautiful Thanksgiving, may you be surrounded by those you love and may you find peace.

Lori & Scott

We have so much to be grateful for. I was talking to a co-worker this morning who complained that there would be nothing to give thanks for this Thursday. So I gently talked her through it and helped her find several things to be grateful for, even in the midst of her tribulations.

Blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving!

Finding the silver lining in any trying situation is a blessing in itself. Thanks for being such a bright ray in your colleague's life, Ann and thanks for your Thanksgiving wishes....you know they're heartily returned!
