Gratitude Journal

Now that it is a new year, I think that also means time for new attitudes or should I say new Gratitudes. I don't think of myself as an ungrateful person, but I do think I am not as grateful as I should be. That is why I think starting a Gratitude Journal would be perfect for me. 
I got this idea from Cassie over at her blog Primitive and Proper. She made some super cute gratitude journals that were very inspiring. 

I looked around my house for things I already I had on hand to make a journal.
 I had a journal I had never used, but I didn't like the cover. So I took the cover off and turned it around! 
For Christmas I got some coveted Cath Kidston Washi Tape. And I also had some peel and stick glitter letters laying around. 

I placed strips of washi tape over the journal until it completely covered the journal. Then I added the stickers. 
Very simple, yet something that will have an impact in my life everyday. 
There is always something to be grateful for in life! 

Rejoice Always, Pray Continually,
Give Thanks in All Circumstances.  1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
