Happy Thanksgiving

Hope Everyone has a wonderful day
and safe passage for everyone that is traveling 



"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. "
