Life has really taken it's toll on us lately. We're constantly bombarded by uncertainty, by stress, by fear, by heartache. It's hard to remain thankful in a world full of turmoil. But there are positive things - oh, so many positive things - in our lives. Some very large, some very small - some so tiny we hardly know they're there. But all essential. And the small joys add up into large joys. Often overlooked, those simple pleasures can give us a great amount of happiness.
Have you heard of a Gratitude List? Have you ever tried it? All it is, is a simple list of the every day things in life that lift your heart. It doesn't matter what you write on. It doesn't matter if it's messy or neat, long or short, plain or artsy. What matters is that you do it. All it takes is a few minutes every day to add a few more things to your list. It's easy to do - there's no right or wrong way, because your list will be as individual as you are. And if you've had a rough day, all the more important! You will be amazed at how writing down the little gems that are meaningful to you, truly can give you a happy, thankful heart.
Here are several of my little gems that I love, love, love, and am so thankful for - - -
