With everything that I've had going on in my personal life, thankfulness has been like water quenching my thirsty soul. It is so easy to let the darkness of life bring you down but having a grateful heart pulls your gaze upward to the light.
Since it's nearing another year, I thought it would be perfect to start a new gratitude journal and in 2018 I would love a little help. That's where The Gratitude Journal for Women by Katherine Furman comes in.
"Find happiness and peace in 5 minutes a day," sounds like its too good to be true but with The Gratitude Journal for Women it IS true! Katherine Furman has done an amazing job with this journal! The layout is beautifully done and artwork by Katie Vernon is colorful, alluring, and really makes this journal very inviting.
When you first open the journal there is an awesome introduction with case studies cited on the benefits of writing down daily what you're thankful for. I have kept a gratitude journal off and on throughout the years but I have never been as consistent as I should be. After reading the introduction I am going to try harder, especially in this season of my life.
Throughout the book, there are multiple writing prompts so the entire journal won't be you saying, "Today I am thankful for..." and you writing the same things over and over. The prompts are very thought provoking and help you focus on many different facets of your life, which I found very intriguing. There are also some pages that are blank so that you can write whatever is on your heart that day.
Sprinkled throughout the book are inspirational quotes from inspiring women which are also very uplifting, and pair very well to the writing prompts and the whole thankful theme. There is also an excellent resource directory in the back of the book so that you can delve deeper into your gratitude journey.
I was very impressed with The Gratitude Journal for Women and am not surprised to see that it is currently the #1 New Release in Quick Workouts on Amazon. This would make a wonderful gift, but if you do decide to give one away be sure to purchase one for yourself to keep as well, and start 2018 with a thankful heart.
