Daily Gratitude - A Journal

On a day that nothing particular happened, I suddenly had the idea of starting a gratitude journal, just to finish off a sketchbook I didn't fancy too much - starting with my very comfy couch.

I didn't know how long I was going to keep up with the habit, but the act of paying attention in my day to day, taking note of small moments that brought me joy became a habit I wasn't ready to stop yet.

February of 2020 is when I started the consistent style of pencil crayon square in an accordion sketchbook I had and continued for 275 days. The habit continues today! I try to meditate on that moment of joy and only that when I do the squares, even though sometimes it isn't the prettiest doodle. The continued act of few minutes of appreciation every day can do wonders for the heart.
