On Sept. 15th I began a Gratitude Journal and have been writing 5 things I am thankful for each day. Even if I miss a day, I go back and write 5 things.
On Thanksgiving Day 2009, I listed item #345.
It's been a great exercise and keeps me focused on the positive.
My cousin, Mary, began a Gratitude Journal and writes in it whenever she is feeling discouraged and she says it has changed her life. I am very thankful for that....oh, I better go write that down!
