A year ago I saw a video about Ann Voskamp and her book 1000 gifts. It prompted me to do a year long celebration of all the things that I was grateful for. They ranged from the big things to all the little things that we often take for granted in our busy lifestyles. I am thankful for the opportunity to have been able to share and hope that you too have been able to look at your life a bit differently to make the most of what you are grateful for. I plan to continue and create a gratitudes journal and share inspiring and encouraging images. I hope you come along for this journey and create one of your own.

Gratitudes - The Summer
The sun as it beats down, relaxing in the garden, the sound of the birds, the summer holidays, children laughing, picnic in the park and a game of rounders, warm summer evenings, watching the sun set and blowing out the garden candle looking forward for tomorrow. I am grateful!

Gratitudes - Art Journals
Art Journals - my visual adventure. I try out new techniques, play, gain understanding, support and encourage myself to be the creative person I feel I have been called to be. I am grateful that my art journal doesn't judge or remind me of my areas of immaturity but encourages me to be my true self and enjoy the journey! What are you grateful for today?

Gratitudes - Journals
Every morning I get up and I write in my journal, there have been some days that I have missed with a promise that I will catch up when there is time. My journal houses my thoughts and ideas that I want to mull over, the problems of yesterday and the solutions of tomorrow. I am grateful that my journal can be another creative outlet. What are you grateful for today?

Gratitudes - Books
I love books, always have, the touch, smell, sound of the crisp pages as they turn. Amazed at what you can learn, insights you can reflect on. Places that you can travel to within the words as they weave stories of uncharted places. I am grateful that I have an appreciation for books that has been passed down to my son.
What is one of your favourite books?

Gratitudes - 30 Day Challenges
30 Day challenges and longer, have taught me that it only takes one small action to make a change that can impact the rest of your life. We all have the ability to do one thing differently today and you would be surprised where it could lead. I am grateful that I have been involved with several challenges that have enabled me to see different perspectives and new relationships. What will be your next challenge?
