I’ve set an intention to start a daily journaling habit. To make a practice out of writing down what I am grateful for.
I have the little notebook, and have been carrying it around with me for days. If I’m ever going to get started, the eve of Thanksgiving is the night to commit.
So, this is the start of my gratitude journal. The likes of Oprah and other wise women say this activity will change my life. Inspire me to seek out abundance over scarcity. Keep my life in line with my highest values. And make me a happier person.
In no particular order, some things I am grateful for right here, right now:
- The safe feeling of our warm house with the wind howling through the darkness outside.
- Enough to eat, a place to sleep, and a heart that hopes and prays that one day everyone can have these needs met.
- Subscriptions to my favorite magazines…and some quiet time here and there to enjoy them.
- My son’s smile, and the flash in his eyes when he is wide-open and full-throttle.
- The opportunity to “start over” with healthy eating and proper nutrition…on Friday.
- A weekend full of fun activities with my little family, and some dear friends.
- My husband’s curiosity and love of knowledge, different cultures, and exploring them with me and Casey.
- A fluffy pillow waiting for my sleepy head…
