We speak a lot of what we are grateful for during the holiday season. It's a wonderful gesture and a time of year that reminds us to cherish the 'little things' in life.
But what about the rest of the year? Do we take time each day to give thanks for the 'little things' we have? I certainly don't. And it's a shame.
So starting on January 1, I'll be keeping a Gratitude Journal. I want to make a conscious effort each day to reflect and give thanks for the 'little things' that make me smile.
I bought this journal from Monika of iloveitall on Etsy. It it a mixed media journal with 53 pages - enough for a page a week. Each journal is made to order by Monika, so it takes a couple weeks to make and ship to you. Mine arrived really fast.
Look how cute the pages are!
I love it! It will look adorable on my desk or nightstand so I can leave it out to jot down my gratitude each day.
The book is spiral bound and comes with additional embellishments.
It will be nice to spend a moment reflecting each day. Too often we go through our busy days without taking the time to think about our blessings. The holiday season shouldn't be the only time of the year that we show our gratitude. It will only take a moment to write down what I am thankful for each day and by the end of the year, I'll have an entire book of wonderful thoughts.
Do you keep a Gratitude Journal?

Oh my goodness that is so cute! What a wonderful little book! I'm doing a devotional/book study by Revive Our Hearts Ministries called "Choosing Gratitude" and I've started doing something similar to you in writing down things I'm grateful for. It's so good for me and really helps me to "Give Thanks Always" unto the Lord! :)
