Quotes by Melody Beattie

I hope you like these Melody Beattie quotes from my collection of quotes about life.

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.

that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.
