turns what we have into enough. – Anonymous

Gratitude
is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy
in your soul. – Amy Collette
Gratitude helps you to grow and expand;
gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all
those around you. – Eileen Caddy
As
the author talked about earlier this year, she learned gratitude through many
experiences in her life through 25 months of unemployment and her apartment
fire. This definitely does not mean to
be thankful for the situation such as an apartment fire, but we can be thankful
for an outcome from the circumstance.
For example, having to move to a hotel for 33 days was inconvenient;
however, the author did not lose anything during the fire and made amazing
friends that the author is grateful for every day.
The
author found the following quote by Buddha, which she thought was very
valuable, a great lesson and something to ponder during the Thanksgiving season:
Let
us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we
learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick,
and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
CHALLENGE: Make a list of at
least 10 things that you are grateful for.
The author discovered that the attitude of gratitude often changes the
perspective on life.
