Gratefulness: Episode 3

I know. There was no post last week. No blog, no podcast, nothing.

I do not have a good excuse. Last week went by so fast and busy. It was a really great week so that’s awesome 🙂

Podcast

Gratitude. Thankfulness. Praises.

We have talked a lot lately about bummer things and stress and problems as such. Those things have been on my mind so far. Yes, I am a very happy person but everyone has moments and days when things go downhill. When days are just bad for whatever reason.

You may remember back from the beginning of season 1 of Simply Living Podcast Lindsay from Truly Living Photography came and talked about business and becoming a business owner.

She and I are still friends, we still talk often and I hope you have all taken a look at her website which I believe she updated a few months back.

Writing Gratitude

We were talking last week and we got on the topic of gratitude. Her mom gave her a book for Christmas.

Good Days Start With Gratitude: A 52 Week Guide To Cultivate An Attitude Of Gratitude: Gratitude Journal

This book can be found on Amazon. Anywho, she was telling me about how her mindset is already changing and how much she loves working in the book. Each day you write down 3 things that you are grateful for. It can be that you have a roof over your head or that the child next to you in church coughed away from you.

Part of the write up in the description on Amazon goes as follows: Each well designed weekly spread contains an inspirational quote, space to write 3 things you are thankful for each day of the week, and a weekly checkpoint.

Why I started talking about this book so much is she has been doing this since the start of the year. She has absolutely loved it! She says one day she wrote down a little thing that she was grateful for at work and it was something she never would have thought of being grateful for if it wasn’t for this book starting her on the track to see the blessings in life.

While we were talking I realized I had not been talking gratefulness a whole lot this year. I had been talking and thinking about the things I was struggling with the things I was having a hard time with.
