I keep three journals by my bedside and I try to write in them every night before bed. I call them my gratitude journals, an idea borrowed from Christina Baldwin. One is for my son, one is for my daughter and one is for life in general.
Last night, for the first time in almost a year I wrote in each of them - three short anecdotes of things that happened during the day that I remembered or was grateful for. One day I'll give the books to the kids and they'll have a record (albeit a spotty one) of what they were up to and, more importantly, of those aspects of their personalities that I gave thanks for.
I end each of the entries with "Thank you."
What would you write in a gratitude journal today? Thank you.
