At a young age I was introduced to the idea of a gratitude journal. At this point I cannot remember by whom, possibly my father or one of my sisters. I do remember being quite intrigued by the concept because I had always struggled with feeling like there was never enough. I'm sure that I'm stating the obvious but a gratitude journal is usually kept on a daily basis to write down things in one's life that he or she is thankful for. I have kept up with this practice on and off for a good chunk of my life. It's a great activity whenever you need a little dose of perspective. Personally, I all too often place myself on the "have-not" list and focus on things that are lacking in my life. I've also grown to grasp that the great thing about focusing on what I do have, puts me into a state of feeling abundant and I begin to attract more happy and positive things to me.
And that about brings me to what I will call,
Thankful Thursdays!
Awhile ago, an old friend began posting on facebook every so often, what she felt thankful for and I loved reading the little things that brought a smile to her face. Let's all follow in her spirit and remember to take time to reflect on the good, happy and positive in our lives.
Today I am thankful for...
my old friend, Alisa Currie, who has inspired thankful thursdays.
I am thankful for your positivity which has obviously reached people.
I am thankful for being a witness to your strength
I am thankful for forgiveness, understanding and the knowledge that while some relationships change, happy memories do not.
