A couple of years ago, I made gratitude journals for my kids and myself (I was inspired by something I saw on Oprah, if you can believe it!). I should post about them on my blog, because they came out pretty cute. :) It has been great for me, counting my blessings always cheers me up.

I love you lady!<br /><br />I seriously struggle with depression, and by seriously, I mean I have all the help in the world and it's still not enough and every day is hard. What's harder is keeping it to myself.

They are such a wonderful way to concentrate on the positive in your life, and I find the more grateful I am the more wonderful things happen :-) <br /><br />Thanks for hosting Homemaker Monday!April J Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960965411211616404noreply@blogger.com
