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

Thanks to the substitute Emailer while I was out last week. It is always great to see what other people write.

I found this quote and thought it captured the feelings I had when coming home from our trip.

We had a great trip to Arizona. It was warm and we got to spend time with great friends.

It was kind of funny when I realized that I was actually happy to be heading home to Illinois and the freezing temps.

It was the “home” part that got me.

I was thankful to be going home to our house.

I was thankful to get see our dog.

I was thankful to get back to work with my fellow Mavideans.

What do you have to be thankful for?

Make it a great day.
