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!
What a wonderful way to keep one focused on what is truly important in our lives. A marvelous idea. And really like the way you have posted this idea for us - wonderful dof and beautifully composed.
@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!
@milaniet Each day is filled with so many beautiful moments, and writing them down helps me to see them for what they really are...gifts! My heart fills with thanks and joy when I think of all that God gives. Your comment is so kind. Thank you!
@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!
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.
@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.
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!
@bokehdot Thank you very much for your comment, fav, and follow! So kind of you, Michelle. I really appreciate your time and your interest in my project. :-)
