“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."

Great Saturday Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for...

1.  Landing the job that I really wanted.  Thank you God for showing me the way to this job and for all my friends and family who offered prayers and good thoughts.

2.  My wonderful husband who just continues to melt my heart with his smile and kindness.

3.  My fantastic friends!  You're simply the best and I can't wait to meet you next weekend.

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for:

A great family, who although not close in proximity are close in heart!

My health, that I now can say is great since my RNY.

My visions for the future and how most of them have already come true!

Hi Barb and all,

Barb, first of all I want to say Congratulations on not only landing a job, but landing a job that you wanted. I hope you're doing something great to celebrate!!

I also liked the quote you picked for the day. I do this exercise everyday with you because I am great at pointing out what is wrong, but I haven't been so great at reconizing what is good in my life.

Today I am thankful for;

1. Having a day without a schedule until 5 pm.
2. The sun being out early this morning which means it should be a stunning day at the beach
3. A three day weekend that includes getting a massage/facial/hot tub at a wonder day spa tomorrow
4. Having more materially than I could have imagined
5. Feeling happy and optomistic

Next.....
