In the Community from ACEH November 23

 

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more… 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".. .Author Melody Beattie

 

Happy Thanksiving, everyone!

Herb and Ann
