2020 has been a challenging year.
Hopefully, you are well. Life is definitely progressing differently. Sheltering in place has caused a disruption in people’s lives. We have been confronted with a re-evaluation of where we live, how we live, and what is really important in life. In the end, it comes down to relationships.
These are some of my favorite inspirational quotes for this special holiday…

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
