I Dreamed of Gratitude - Altered Book-Counting Blessings

Counting Blessings...an ongoing altered book process.  
I am so grateful for so many things........
       "If the Only prayer you said in your whole life was "thank you"  that would suffice."
                                                                         Meister Ekhart
About three weeks ago I dreamed about creating a Gratitude Book and the cover appearing in my dream.   It was called " Counting Blessings"
And so I have been slowly working in it over time...



  I have decided to post what I have done so far...


I am working on placing as much attention as possible 
in my life on what I am grateful for.  
I am grateful for so many things....


"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial in acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow".                                            Melody Beattie
