I don't need 5 extra bottles of gray paint, so I returned them to the store. And while I was standing in the return line, I see the perfect notebook/journal for my gratitude journal.
What is a gratitude journal you might ask? A gratitude journal is a way to consciously give thanks to the things for which we are thankful each day. By focusing on gratitude, we become aware of those things and create a shift in our thinking to the positive.
I plan to write at least three things that I am thankful for in my gratitude journal every night before I go to bed. It won't be anything extravagant, just little snippets from that day that I am grateful for. I'm thankful that I get to spend Thanksgiving with my family. I ate turkey and dressing, and it was amazing. Got my Black Friday shopping plan of attack ready.
Back to the journal. I instantly fell in love with the pewter color and pattern. The tag says it is handcrafted in India and the paper is handmade and eco-friendly. And the string to tie it up is like icing on the cake.
I was going to wait and post about this topic until the New Year, as it is my New Year's resolution. (Yes, I already know what my resolutions will be. I plan ahead...sometimes a little too much.) However, with it being Thanksgiving and the time to be thankful and grateful for things, I thought it would be better to go ahead and start my gratitude journal today.
What are you thankful/grateful for? Do you have a gratitude journal that you write in daily? Or do you journal at all?
