Gratitude Journals for 2020

This notebook has been part of my gratitude journaling lineup for years. The cover proves that it has been well-loved and used often: it's dinged up, the hexagon shapes I added to the front are dingy, it has some battle scars for sure. I fall back on it when I want to journal more than my mixed paper journals allow me to do, when there are more words than my 4x7 journal can fit.

Sometimes, I write several days’ worth of journaling on one page and other days I use the whole page. For January 1st, I did a sort of manifesto of what I'd like to "make" in 2020. 

SHOW ME THE JOURNALS
If you’re looking to be more aware of the simple joys that touched your heart and made you smile, the friends who shape you, the moments that change you, I invite you to journal your thankful thoughts and grateful moments. I’m on a year-long practice of gratitude journaling every single day. Even though I’ve been journaling since 2010, it’s been a very long time since I journaled every day. So my wish for next year is to document what makes me smile.

This one is a DIY journal I made with a black binder ring, one of my paper pack kits from the shop and a stack of journaling cards. You could also use this pack and trim it to size.

I used one of these label die cuts to reinforce the hole I punched in my cover page and this is the printable journaling card set I used.

If you know me well, you know how I love to embellish a journal page...and I know that won’t be possible every day so I’ll be adding this lined notebook to my journaling lineup. It will be the perfect solution for days that my creative mojo hasn’t kicked in but I still want to journal.

FINISHING UP IN MY 2019 JOURNAL
This chunky little mixed paper junk journal has filled my heart with joy. It has reminded me to take a few moments throughout the week to ponder, reflect and document the simple joys that made my day, made me smile and made my grateful for this life I live.
