Its a blessing that musn't be taken for granted. develop a gratitude attitude come to think of it. How often do we say thank you for the simplest of gestures, done to us by friends, family or even strangers, It  takes nothing from us to say "Thank you" happiness is born from gratitude an  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.

Be thankful for each new challenge... which will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes ... they will teach you valuable lessons.
