After Reading "1,000 Gifts" I started a Grateful Journal. It has been picked up at random times throughout this last year and forgotten too often, but I was excited to pick it up today and realize I had 100 things listed from this year.  I tried to not repeat anything and make it specific to the day I was in, if you read through you will see several repeats...
