Gratitude

The other day I was browsing through Barnes & Noble, one of my favorite stores. As I made my way around the store I came across all of their journals.

Last year I was very diligent in keeping a journal and it helped me learn a lot about myself. It was awesome to see progress made in my life clearly recorded. This year, I've been terrible. So starting fresh I wanted to make it more of a gratitude journal. Every single day I want to write something down that I was grateful for. It could be a simple sentence or a paragraph. Eventually, I think I will become more aware of the blessings in my life because I made it a rule to never repeat something I have already written!

As I have done this throughout the past week, I have been happier. I've thought a lot about being more active in my blog so here is where I want to start. I challenge everyone to record at least a word a day about something they are grateful for. I will try and share some of mine at least a couple of times a week and I would love to hear from you as well!

Here's to counting our blessings!
