I have decided to overcome my fear of journaling and I've started a gratitude journal. I am using a fabric covered journal that my friend Heather (who I really miss) made for me. I thought it very appropriate. Here is today's page ... I really am grateful for all my online friends and all of you who visit my blog ... so this one's for you!

What a great idea, Judi, and good for you for plunging into something that you have had concerns about doing!!! This is a terrific beginning...I hope you'll continue....and continue to share the pages with us as you feel like it!
