Gratitude journal

We are starting a gratitude journal inspired by Ann Voskamp's book:  One thousand gifts: a dare to live fully right where you are. I first red this book last summer when I need a little more pep in my step, and started a gratitude journal as a result. That journal turned out to be a very helpful tool to overcoming a hard time in my life being thankful and expressing that both in word and out loud made me respect life in a different way, I  found that it was very inspiring.

So I challenged my husband to Ann's Joy Dare,"because saying thank you can change the world". We are going to find at least three things to be thankful for for the rest of the year in the aim to get to one Thousand gifts.

So here is the Hill family's gratitude journal,
