Sometime back I became really aware of how thankful I am for so much in my life.
That led me, thankfully, to realize how many blessings occur in my everyday life, every day. Blessings of all shapes and sizes: small, medium and large.
I decided to add another journal to my collection of ongoing journals, logs, chronicles, blogs, and notebooks. A Blessings Notebook.
So simple. It sits on my beside table, and a pen is always there beside it!. A few minutes every night right before sleep, I jot down what I feel has blessed me, blessed my day, blessed my world.
Here are just a few of the things I've discovered thanks to this small notebook:
- My sleep-thoughts and dreams go back over the day's blessings. I sleep beautifully.
- I don't forget to write the blessings down every day because my Blessings Notebook is right by my bed.
- During the day I am more attentive to the good that happens, to the blessings I enjoy.
- Every couple of days I go back and review what I've written previously. It's a kick.
- I simply cannot feel needy with the growing record of blessings right there in my own handwriting!
I would love for you to share how you discover your gratitude, express your thanks, hold on to your bliss.
