About three weeks ago, I decided that I don't show enough gratitude for my blessings. The greatest blessing that I have is my sweet family. I decided after reading a quote from Pres. Woodruff about keeping journals for children that I would do exactly that, keep a gratitude journal about each member of my family. I felt like this way, I'd be prizing my blessings and keeping a journal.
I found these cute notebooks at Target, I thought they'd be perfect for what I want to do. The pink is for Kira, the blue for Josh and the black for Louis. Every night, I write in each notebook and account at least one thing that they did for me during the day that made me happy or feel loved.
I have done this for 3 weeks now, only missing a few nights, I feel like it has been a wonderful experience so far. I feel even more love for my family members and I realize daily what a wonderful life I live.
I encourage each of you to have a gratitude journal, and discover the blessings you truly have in life.

Diana,
Love this idea. I have been keeping a gratitude journal off and on for the past couple years and it always amazes me how much smoother life seems to go when I take time to really recognize my blessings. I'll have to try doing it specifically about Zac. And, thanks for your e-mail. I love hearing from you and will reply soon. I can't get Gilmore Girls here...sad, huh? My friend taped the finale for me, but I haven't had time to watch it yet. I'll let you know what I think when I do, though. We'd love to have you anytime! Love you!
