A Thankful Heart! by janetb

A Thankful Heart!

I keep a gratitude journal, and my gratitude journal keeps me focused on the gifts each day holds. These things I write down — these gifts from our loving God — give me joy and a thankful heart!
Such beautiful words to accompany the shot.

@mccarth1 Thanks so much, Kerry! Gratitude journaling really opens one's eyes to God's goodness. The more you look, the more you see; and the the more you see, the more you look. It's a life-changing, joyous practice!

@moya Thank you, Moya! I read Ann Voskamp's eye-opening One Thousand Gifts book years ago and have been keeping my gratitude journal (aka gift list) ever since. I've read a lot about the wonderful, life-changing benefits of gratitude journaling; and I find them to be true!

@emrob Thank you so much, Mandy! I appreciate your time and kindness.

Nicely composed shot. You do have beautiful writing, and judging by the number you are up to, it looks as though you've been keeping this for quite a few years.

Great pov, dof, and processing.

A good idea, and nice shot of it!

@skstein Such a nice thing to say, Sandy. Thank you! Yes, I started my gratitude journal years ago. I treasure the memories it holds. I'm so happy I didn't miss those moments or forget to give thanks for them.

@vstap Thank you so much!
January 28th, 2016  
You have such nice handwriting! A journal is a great idea. I've never been good at keeping them though! So I just have my "thank you prayer" which I do every day. You're right- there is always something to be thankful for!
