I have a gratitude journal that I write in everyday. I find that it keeps me grounded and focused on the positive. No matter how grim a day may be, there are always glimpses of the day I can smile about. My goal is to write down 5 things I am either thankful for or find happiness in each and every day. Over the year I do give myself permission to repeat a few. Especially on days that are particularly rough. The journal can be as detailed or as general as I see fit each particular day. I look forward journaling every evening before bed.
Many people make it a habit of taking the month of November to reflect on something they are thankful for. With all the talk of the economy which is constantly bombarding us, it is a great time to turn around our focus to what we have instead of what we have not. I decided to share a list of 30 reasons I am thankful or grateful. Perhaps you will find enjoyment and peace starting your own gratitude journal.
