I try to write 3 good things/things I'm thankful for in my journal each night, and I can't repeat on the page. I'm not perfect, but I'm much happier when I do it.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396802409329479613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-59605052036573486042012-10-25T06:18:20.794-07:002012-10-25T06:18:20.794-07:00I am in the same boat girlfriend!!! When the funk ...I am in the same boat girlfriend!!! When the funk starts creeping in I've been writing down what I'm thankful for and just keep repeating my thankful prayers until the funk passes. No one wants to be around someone who isn't happy. So the first step for me is to stop thinking unhappy thoughts and appreciate what is happy in my life right now. great post!!! xo ashleymoranyogahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923356388778481340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-3897912237218125662012-10-24T13:26:21.755-07:002012-10-24T13:26:21.755-07:00like you, I struggle with being grateful at times ...like you, I struggle with being grateful at times and it can be the silliest of things like envy.

I got it to keep in my pocket as a daily reminder!<br />Thank you for sharing this about your nana, I know you are encouraging so many of us with it!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790708429694760449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-39224722355341192682012-10-24T10:41:25.410-07:002012-10-24T10:41:25.410-07:00I LOVE this.

I am trying to thank my hubby more for how hard he is working and just trying to be more grateful in general.

It's always hard when we are working towards goals, have things we want to add to our lives. Sometimes I have to sit down and name five things I'm grateful for!

It's incredible how some people suffer in life and still they are always grateful and happy.....and then there are people like me...that are truly blessed with a awesome family, peace and everything she needs in life ...but that still is unhappy and complains and btches far to much.....<br /><br />I'm totally down with you girl! I think it's awesome that you are working on that and I also do hope that someday I will master the art of gratefulness! Sending lots of hugs and patience your way! :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735815065909499099noreply@blogger.com
