Ten things I am thankful for today: a gratitude journal entry

Thinking of the many blessings in our life is a guaranteed feel-good activity. Keeping a gratitude journal helps us to focus on what we are thankful for on a more regular and consistent basis.

Today, this is what my gratitude list would look like:

I am thankful for:

  1. My fiance and our loving, peaceful, and beautiful life we have together.
  2. Having a few days off from work for this Thanksgiving holiday.
  3. My health
  4. My job
  5. My new friends I am making on Twitter. Connecting with these wonderful people is incredible.
  6. My writing- creating and reaching out to others is the best.
  7. My parents
  8. Both of my football teams are doing well (Oklahoma State and University of Oklahoma). I attended both schools.
  9. Fun plans to go out with the family for pizza tonight.
  10. My cat Mew who is just pure unconditional love.

Your turn-what are you grateful for today?

Note: a nice book that I have owned for many years to keep a gratitude journal is The Simple Abundance of Gratitude by Sarah Ban Breathnach. At the start of the book she has a list of 150 often overlooked blessings. There is plenty of room for each day of the year to write down what you are thankful for. I started mine back in 1998 and keep adding entries each year in the side margins or wherever I can find the space. It is fun to reflect back on the richness of my blessed life during its many varied stages and experiences.

Have a blessed day. I am thankful for all of you, dear Warm Milk Journal readers!
