Thankful Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US blog readers! I hope you're surrounded by family and good food this weekend :)

This month our BBA Challenge was about Gratitude. The host says: "Living with Gratitude is my goal, but certainly at Thanksgiving we all stop to think about what we're thankful for.  How does gratitude play a part in your life?  Create something that shows your gratitude."

I took inspiration from two areas for this challenge. Judy Nolan makes the cutest Gratitude Journals in her MisterPenQuin shop and I wanted to make something similar for myself. Also, I've seen several of my Facebook friends doing a daily challenge by posting what they are thankful for the entire month of November. I took the two ideas and made a daily gratitude journal of my own.

 
Some days I'm grateful for the little things.

Other days, I'm grateful for bigger things...and use the front and back of the page to write my though

I'm always grateful for my family, friends, health and amazing life. So I used this journal to think about all the little things I'm thankful for. Anything from a day in my pjs to a great business opportunity. I'm thankful everyday :)

What a great journal. This is something to go back and read from time to time. One of my friends was doing the daily challenge on FB. It had been fun to read each day!
