My husband and I recently read an article together about gratitude.
We were reminded how important it is.
We learned that by simply being thankful for your blessings (big and small)
*helps you have a better outlook
*decreases stress levels
*improves your relationships with others
One way to remember to be thankful is to write in a journal every day about something you are thankful for.
Since this is a kind of journal for me, my weight loss, and life, I will begin here.
Today I am thankful for my 21 month old twins.
They are such blessings in our lives.
No matter how bad my day is I can look at them and feel how much Heavenly Father loved me to let me borrow these little miracles.

This was a great post. I am thankful for my family and this beautiful spring day we are having today. Also for the fact that I am healthy and losing weight.
I think the gratitude section of your posts is absolutely wonderful! It is such a positive moment for everyone to be part of. Sometimes life gets busy and we forget to be thankful. And I dont want to forget! If you dont mind I think I may add it to my blog too? Well done :)
