Daily Gratitude Journal

[Geila]

When I wrote out my day earlier, I felt so good after verbalizing my gratitude and I realized that I haven't done that in a while. At least not on a regular basis. It's one of the things that brings me a lot of peace and contentment - the practice of gratitude.

I want to do a gratitude journal to help with that and open it up to everyone. To me, this is one of the most important benefits of simple living: gaining the mental, physical and emotional space to appreciate that which is most meaningful in our lives.

Today I am grateful for my health.

Geila, after a hospitalization each of the three past years, I am very grateful for my health today. Knock on wood - I make it through 2017 without a hospitalization!!!!! I'd be beyond grateful for that! Rob

I am very thankful for my friends. With having no family, my friends are precious to me and I am thankful for each one. From Rose Mary, my oldest friend, who moved next door to me when I was about 10 years old and remains my best friend today, to Karen my newest friend who came into my life just over two years ago when I was reeling from just having buried my husband and she was reeling from a divorce. And everyone in between who came through the years and stayed. Good friends - for them I am thankful.
