The January 14th passage of Simple Abundance, by Sarah Ban Breathnach (SBB), talks about the ever important gratitude journal. As she says “Simplicity, order, harmony, beauty, and joy – all the other principles that can transform your life will not blossom and flourish without gratitude.” She mandates really, that we all keep a beautiful blank book by our bedside & jot down five things we are grateful for each night. There will be days in a row that you are repetitive with your blessings (not a bad day I’d say!) & other days when a new surprising joy happens & you can’t wait to jot it down! As the blessings in our lives begin to fill these blank pages, we can’t help but begin to smile more & laugh more. Debbie Downer & Negative Nellie will soon find their place - out of your life! Yes, something so simple can make an enormous difference in your life. So go get the prettiest blank book you can find & embrace gratefulness!
I am grateful today for: 1) The opportunity to have a GWA with my friends! 2) All the friends that enrich my life on a daily basis. 3) The beauty of seeing some beautiful snow this weekend (without it bothering the driving conditions!) 4) My mom who worries about me & my friends going away (no matter how old we get!) 5) a nap!!!
