Gratitude is a form of wisdom. It's patient, loving, hopeful, and rigorously honest. It denies nothing, and it overlooks nothing. It looks reality full in the face and says: This is true, this is me, this is my situation, and I have the opportunity to build from here. Right now, the beginning of 2012, is a perfect starting point. Unfortunately, 2011 was not good to many of us. So, lets make today a new beginning and really treat it that way. Let's not dwell on what might have been and only concentrate on what can be!!!
