O.K. I am not so great at this blogging thing.... but I am going to keep at it! I just wanted to encourage everyone to have a Gratitude Journal. I know that it has been a number of years ago that this became a popular thing to do, I write things in mine from time to time, more consistant at times and then losing it for several years. It is a really nice reminder to flip through and see all the things I have written in it so far. If you do keep a Gratitude Journal...keep adding to it! If you do not keep a Gratitude Journal yet, start one. It can be a plain notebook, or a fancy one, or something you create yourself. Don't make it complicated. Mine is a purchased one by Sarah Ban Breathnach (she has some cool self discovery stuff, also). It has several lines for each day of the year. You could fill in each day and make it last for a year, or just write things in when you think of them and it can last for years and years. It also includes 150 often overlooked blessings; try 'the desire for knowledge', 'not losing your temper' and 'an unexpected compliment' for example. Plus some nice quotes on each page.....I will end with this one:
"Offer grace for the bounty of goodness. Raise the song of harvest home, the glass of good cheer, the heart overflowing with joy. We have so much for which to be thankful. So much about which to smile, so much to share. So much, that in this season of plenty, we can embrace the season of relinquishment. All we have is all we need." --Sarah Ban Breathnach
