My Gratitude Journal: (Thankfulness, Appreciation and Gratefulness)

Gratitude is something we all must understand of as we begin to grow up. Many of us learned to give thanks and show appreciation to others especially when we were given a gift for a birthday, holiday or someone showing us a simple act of kindness.

Gratitude, gratefulness, or thankfulness is a feeling of true appreciation felt by the recipient who receives a generous gift from the giver. It is more blessed to give than it is to receive, but when you are on the receiving end, showing appreciation is a positive response and blesses the giver.

As you dedicate your time to give thanks and show some gratitude towards others, you will reap the benefits of love that comes from above. In this gratitude journal, you can think of ways to creatively do something to show your gratitude. Perhaps you may want to do two to three random acts of kindness for a day, week, or month. Maybe you might want to send out thank you cards to show your appreciation and gratitude to your family, friends, church members, classmates, co-workers, your favorite celebrities, or your neighbors. Whatever you decide, trust the experience, and enjoy the journey of gratitude.
