I had to read them all twice just to take it all in. Thanks to each one of you for commenting and for being such a blessing to me and to other readers who get to share your gratitude.

Each and every night, no matter what transpired during the day I'd write at night in this journal. I developed an attitude of gratitude in a short period of time and in doing this I also learned how to turn a negative into a positive. Life hasn't been the same ever since! <br /><br />I love your idea, when I'm feeling overwhelmed I'll remember this and turn to a gratitude journal. Thank you. <br /><br />Enjoy your Sunday!darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-90727716299864804732011-09-03T19:37:24.501-07:002011-09-03T19:37:24.501-07:00I am going to start a list and thanks for the advi...I am going to start a list and thanks for the advice to make it easier on myself I will work on it just when I actually have a free moment.

I will share a few sentences from a hymn called "Count Your Blessings" The chorus goes like this; Count your many blessings name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. The verses are inspiring and I love the idea of counting blessings. <br />I know that you will enjoy every moment of your break up to a cabin; I would love to do that sometime. <br />Blessings to you and keep on enjoying those moments.LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-53985569229767389462011-09-03T12:04:35.834-07:002011-09-03T12:04:35.834-07:00Galen,

I'm grateful for this idea. My original list is now in the archive. Adding to it would be a way to keep gratitude alive in my heart and mind.<br /><br />Fabulous.

I love the word Gratitude. <br />I have found, during my 81 years in this incarnation, that if I am grateful for one thing, all others fall in place. That one thing is GOOD HEALTH. <br />Have a restful and blessed weekend at your cabin.<br /><a href="http://beajayblock.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Manzanita@Wannabuyaduck</a>Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-9176923478745844662011-09-02T19:47:03.104-07:002011-09-02T19:47:03.104-07:00I have never written a list like this, but it'...I have never written a list like this, but it's a fabulous idea for so many reasons. One that hopefully will be discovered many, many years from now...but my children may some day find this nice to read......often we don't say so many things we should...and I know after my parents passed on I found such pleasures in the little things (simple, and meaningful) things they left behind!
