The Grace of Gratitude

This is the time of year that we are reminded to be thankful. 

A wonderful way to stay in the grace of gratitude all year long is with a gratitude journal. 

You can write as often as you like about anything and everything that you appreciate in your life.

It's a great way to 'naturally' stay focused on what's important to you. And, you can start at anytime, at any phase of life and, of course, any age!

[This [blog] entry focuses on using one journal specifically for gratitude entries only.] What a lovely time of year to focus on your Gratitude Journal. If you don't have one, no problem! Get one when you can. And, if you're already doing gratitude entries in your journal, good job! All of the suggestions are for you to decide what works best for you. Gratitude is about appreciation and it is extremely personal and precious. For when we deeply appreciate someone or something, it clicks something inside of us, that only we can experience/understand. Your Gratitude Journal is where you express your emotions, memories and moments of deep appreciation, love and feelings of blessings. 
(At the bottom of this entry, there's a video Feeling Grateful Guided Meditation for you to relax into. It compliments the exercises wonderfully. Watch it when it's convenient for you. Enjoy!)

Gratitude Writing

You can write about anything that moves you. You may find that each time you sit that you have different feelings and levels of appreciation for people or things in your life. You may find that what you are grateful for varies drastically from day to day or you may discover that it is the same thoughts that linger in your mind. And, it's A Gratitude Journal. You're writing about things that you are grateful for... you can't do it wrong. So, enjoy! Have fun! Revel in the joys of living a life immersed in gratitude!

Honoring America's Veterans

 

It's November 11th... No Blog Entry today ~ I spend every Veteran's Day volunteering my time to everyone that has served in The United States Military. (I work with service men and women ~ oh, and I've had a couple service dog sessions, too!) It's the very least that I can do. If you'd like to know more about Veteran's Day, you can read about it online or click here, it's just a quick link to the definition and a tiny bit of history. 

Click on the picture for a link to all of the companies honoring our veterans. 

I have such a deep love and appreciation for their service, I want to do all I can. I have a webpage that explains it and lists the benefits  discounts, days and services that are available to them. If you know anyone who served, pass this along, it would be greatly appreciated.
