17 Days to Appreciate a Friend

THANKFUL.

I think the best quote for me was before the chapter 14 started. "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." --Melody Beattie

I needed to be reminded of this extremely important truth. For me, this is the key to my not being frustrated, overwhelmed, and stressed. When I am at a place of thankfulness for my family, friends, ministry, and each day God gives me, there is usually very little room for those other things I mentioned. The challenge for me is staying there.

How do you get to that place of thankfulness? How do you stay there?
