grateful

so for several weeks now, i have been keeping a grateful journal. i write each night in the journal a short sentence reminding myself of what i am grateful for.

i love this journal. i am so attached to the process, and the wonderful calming feeling it gives me to write it down. it's mine, and all mine.

not one person has even asked me about the journal, and it's right on my bedside table.

with that, i have been thinking about the things i am grateful for now. today.

*my warm home, it's a little chilly out, and the heat is just on "enough" to take the chill off
* sleeping, tired squirts upstairs
* a husband who is here with me, at home. always.
* hockey
* gymnastics
* support and love from my family and friends
* a long, easy going weekend
* the arrival of autumn
* three really sweet dogs that give me unconditional love all the time

what are you grateful for today?

I am planning to do that over the holiday month. Love the idea of it! Can you share pics of yours?

oh, Fransie, my little notebook is literally a small spiral bound notebook. I actually started it and three weeks into it, I though - crud, should have chosen a pretty leather bound journal book - looks like I will after this one is filled ..... :)

I need to find me a little book too. I am planning on doing this for the month of December... sort of to get in the holiday spirit, and to close off the year thinking about all my blessings... I have little blank chipboard books and stuff, but I need something that had 31-ish pages.

Looking forward to this little project :-)
