Happy Thanksgiving to all!
For about 12 years I’ve kept a Gratitude Journal (inspired by one of my all-time favorite books, Simple Abundance) to reflect all of the reasons I have to feel joy and celebrate. It’s been a blessing on difficult days to return to these pages and see how rich and full my life has been all these years. The format I follow is simple, I date the entry and then write 5 things I am grateful for on 1 line each.
Here’s my entry for today
1. Recognizing God’s love and hand in my life
2. Early mornings when our 3 young children climb in our bed for family snuggle time
3. Joyful opportunities here at Startup Princess to build a Kingdom of women entrepreneurs who genuinely desire to support one another in life balance and business success
4. Blessings of strong health and abundant energy to serve others
5. Optimistic and bright future ahead!

Well said. I was just talking about Thankfulness on TheBibleStudyPodcast.com today and how I think it is necessary to keep our heart healthy in a spiritual sense. It sounds like you are already there, although snuggle time is a big advantage.
Thanks Chris for the kind comment and for taking the challenge to start a gratitude journal, check it out here:
