Gratitude Journal

Keeping a gratitude journel is an excellent way to guard against losing sight of what we are thankful for. It puts things into perspective when we are feeling low, or feeling a lack. There are so many things to be thankful for, and it is easy to take these things for granted if we don't stop to think about them. I used to write down 3 things that I was thankful for every night in my journel. I found that it was always very easy to find 3 things to be thankful for...even if they were simple things-it helped me to realize all that I do have. Even things that seem negative-you can turn them around to find the positive. Like when I am frustrated with my job or my home, I realize how thankful I am to have the job, or how many nice things I have in my home. Excellent post. I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my coworkers, and many small things that I have been blessed with throughout this past year. I am thankful for each new day!
