Gratitude - Happiness

I have always been grateful but during mentoring a couple years ago, I was encouraged to journal.  Keeping a gratitude journal has increased my happiness and has kept me out of depression while I continue to heal & walk through a workplace resolution of my case. I learned there is no right way or wrong way to journal.  Every day I write down what I am grateful for.  That saying is true.  "Not every day may be good, but there is good in every day!"

I write down as many things that I am grateful for as I can remember.  If you decide to do it you too will realize that Once you start, you realize just how blessed you truly are.  Even on those days that you want to scream!  

This year I embarked on a fun project with gratitude.  I have a gratitude- happiness tin that daily I record all the things that I am grateful for.  You might want to write your gratitude down in a journal, put into a jar, voice record them, or take pictures.

This is a photo of my gratitude jar .. it is only April 18th today and look at all my slips .. only a third of the way through the year.  

Every morning I start with thanking God that I am alive to see another beautiful blessed day.  Then I go about my day.  It is true, the more you are grateful for, the more God gives us to be grateful.
In gratitude, Giuliana
