Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
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.

I stole this poem from my friend Melissa. I've been thinking a lot about gratitude lately. Maybe because I've been feeling so much gratitude for my amazing life. I really think it is a commandment we pay way too little attention to, even though I think it is probably one of the most important commandments we can keep. If I tried to share even a fraction of what I'm grateful for I'd been typing for days so I just want to share one of the things I've been sending prayers of gratitude to Heavenly Father for lately. FALL! What an incredibly beautiful season. The weather is sweet and the mountains couldn't be more beautiful. The sky is so blue and beautiful. I drive around town and can't help but praise God for the FALL beauty. Thank Heaven for FALL.

I love your post. Fall is my favorite season too, and it never lasts long enough so I enjoy every minute before it snows. :)
I loved your post and the quote. I too agree that we don't show as much gratitude as we should for the abundant blessings we receive. Thanks for the reminder. I too love fall.
I was just talking to Tyler last night about how much I miss the fall. There is no such thing as fall in arizona and it is one of the number one things I miss about Utah. Enjoy the beautiful world for me.
Thank you! Great quote.

I am grateful you are my friend! I miss talking to you! It was nice to see you for a few minutes at lunch today, but we need more chat time!
