Thankful For...

I am thankful for, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, my girls' growing independence. I do miss their sweet little baby faces, I cannot lie. But, to see them growing up and growing into themselves, it's a powerful thing. Too much for this Mama sometimes.

THIS WEEK IN MY GRATITUDE JOURNAL

This week, I journaled in my mixed paper journal. I don't usually journal every single day, and didn't this week either, but I was able to document two stories that I'm glad to have down on paper.

And if you've been journaling for some time, you'll get what I'm saying here. Ever been stumped on what it is you can be thankful for? Well, I recently bought some Happy Planner stickers, using a coupon of course, and didn't think I would have a use for the meal planning stickers included. And then, I got to thinking about them and decided to use one of the stickers as a journal prompt.

And now I've documented my thankfulness for a full pantry.

What I love about blank pages are all the opportunities for journaling. I've used pages like this one before and every time I use it, I end up doing something different. This time, I added some washi tape  and then layered a paper strip and a die cut.

And if you love that watercolor speech bubble journal card I snuck in there, no worries...I'll be adding that to the shop this week.

WHAT IS #ILOVETHURSDAYTHANKS

What is #ilovethursdaythanks? It's a way for me, and you, to connect with other like minded souls. Those of us that find joy in documenting our thankful thoughts and grateful moments. Those moments that sometimes could be so quickly forgotten, those thoughts that haunt us and won't let us go, those words that touched our heart when we needed them most, those people who made a difference just by being there.
