“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.”
~Melody Beattie
In the name of gratitude and truthfulness I’ve decided to post a little piece of reality here once a week. Likely just a single picture. See my original post here.
Today I am thankful that we are always learning – whether while doing puzzles or “swimming” through piles of them.
If you’d like to join in with a reality check of your own, please add a link or note in the comments!
Happy May Day!
I love your reality check. We all need to do a reality check every now and then, and especially those with more than two children. We had/have four; but you have more. đŸ™‚
Thanks for this. We ARE always learning and I need to remember that. I was stressing a little last week that the kids weren’t getting enough “book work” done…but they were doing and learning lots.
wah!puzzle pieces!
This is so true. I have to keep this in mind next year when I start homeschooling!
Thanks for the reminder:) I also have a category on my blog called “real life” which has posts that aren’t necessarily sunny and lovely. I like that you are seeing the silver lining. Your optimism is encouraging. How’s your belly feeling? Happy week to you, my friend!
