Change Is In The Air

wow the past few days things have happened around here that have really made me stop and think. for the most part just your day to day stuff. one incident in particular though just really got me thinking about life and just things that are important to me. i'm sure we all have those times when evaluate how things in our lives are going. it just kinda hit me when i wasn't expecting it! i'm so glad it did! it got me thinking about the things i really care about in life and the dreams and hopes that i have. so i took some time yesterday and just wrote in my journal. something i hadn't done for awhile. i've been trying to keep a gratitude journal on a daily basis. well i was doing okay for awhile, but then i just kept putting it off and then stopped. so i was thinking of things that i would really like to see happen or change in my life. i only picked a few. i journaled about each of them. they are kind of like goals i guess. so anyways one of them was to continue to focus on the things that i'm grateful for. so i decided to change up my gratitude journal a bit. i'm such a visual person so i thought it would be fun to add photos to this. as i was deciding how to do this i thought it might be fun to share this with you! make it a challenge to you to find things on a daily basis that you are grateful for. i've learned that this helped me to start looking for things that are positive on a daily basis. so lets take it to the next level.

so i thought of something that i was grateful for yesterday and took pictures of the moment. i'm going to scrap them and then journal about them. i think that when i look back on it later it will help me remember that particular time easier. like i said before i'm more of a visual person. so i'm going to scrap these on sunday and post them for you to see. so my challenge to you is to start noticing things that your grateful for. if you want write one down a day. try and take pictures at least once a week of one of those things and then scrap those pictures. what a great thing to look back on! so i know it's already friday and if you want to get going and join in now, then great! if not then check back sunday for mine and we'll try and do this as a weekly challenge. i once had someone tell me that negative begets negative and positive begets positive. so hopefully this will help us to start looking at the important things in our lives that we are truly grateful for!
