A Gratitude Journal // Favorite Things

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States as well as Hanukkah--if you are celebrating either, I hope it's a wonderful day.One of my favorite things about this blog is it allows me to spend a significant amount of time reflecting on things that are beautiful in my life--the great outdoors, friendships I've made online, time with family, fabric, quilting, and people who go out of their way to be kind. Thank you for being a part of that.This is my gratitude journal. Of course I bought it at Target, purveyor of many beautiful things I want and don't need.Last month, I wrote a post about happiness--I cited an article that talked about 12 things happy people do--number one is to express gratitude. There is so much that is hard and dark in the world--stopping to write down things I am grateful for helps put life in perspective.  And, it helps when you get to use a pretty notebook (you can find it on Amazon--Gratitude: A Journal --affiliate link).Oh. And I'm really excited about the Lime-Coconut Creme Pie my husband is making, too.Happy Thanksgiving.
