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.

This quote means that when we are thankful for the things in our life, our lives become more full. Instead of feeling like we don’t have any of what we want, we’re content with what we have and it’s enough. Being grateful can also help us to find acceptance in difficult situations, by dealing with confusion, chaos, and deny. With gratitude, we can turn everyday situations into special ones. For example, a simple everyday meal can become a feast, an austere house can become a home, and a stranger can become a friend.
