"The Gratitude journal truly changed my life," said Oprah. I began to write in my own gratitude journal after I saw Sarah Ban Breathnach and her Simple Abundance book chat on Oprah's show many years ago. She challenged each viewer to write five things you are grateful for each day. I started well and then dribbled off as I usually do. However, I look back and still smile. I notice that what I am truly grateful for are words not connected with money: loving husband, happy children, warm home, good food, playing tennis, good friends, sisters . . . the list goes on. Today I am grateful for having a job when there are so many people out of work. Sometimes I complain about waking up so early to go to work every day, but I need to be grateful to even have a job in these tough times."Gratitude is the heart's memory"
French proverb.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life"
Melody Beattie
What are you grateful for today?
