Chick, I have a beautiful journal that I used to write in so faithfully. Until hubby came into my life and turned it upside down (in a good way). I didn't have as much free time to sit and write (I need really good chunks of time to do the kind of journalling that I love to do). Eventually my journalling crawled to about 2, maybe 3 entries a year! Then the interval was so long (2 years!) that I gave up trying to catch up.

Then Dotsie suggested starting a "Gratitude Journal", where I write about the gifts, excitement and blessings of each day. So I turned my journal into the gratitude journal. It's quick, thought-provoking and puts me in a positive frame of mind...helps me to focus on the positive and good in my life instead of dwelling on what's missing. It's changing the way I think and see things. I've been working hard to change my thinking (changed thinking changes everything). This is helping tremendously. I'd highly recommend it!
