My Gratitude Journal

In the past, there have been many times in my life that it has been difficult to be thankful for anything. At the end of the day, I was just thankful that it was time to go to bed and sleep so I could officially end that day and have a fresh start the next day.

Looking back, when I did take the time to be thankful, it seemed that there was more and more to be thankful for each day. This process does however require us to be somewhat conscious and develop an attitude of gratitude.

I love challenges, so I created a gratitude journal. Each evening before I went to bed, I would sit and reflect on my day and list all the people and things I was grateful for. This is not an original idea and it sure seems overly simple, however it is most powerful.

This "gratitude journal" I will share with you everything I am grateful for, and yes some days it will be a struggle, and on others I will be bursting with excitement...so let the journey begin! It is my hope that by sharing I may encourage or inspire you to find the blessings in each day.
