    Family.

    Believe me, I totally know how family can be a source of stress. There can be so many ups and downs with family, but let's focus on the positive instead... the family moments you can be thankful for. Do you have a challenging family member? Try to find the best compliment you can give about them... that is a gratitude moment right there. Think about the times you pull together as a group and overcome tough times. There is immediate family and also extended family. Are you lucky enough to have both? Do you have some great family stories that make you smile every time you think about them? Family traditions? Strong relationships? Heart-melting moments of tenderness shared between relatives?

    "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer


    Here are a couple of pages that the Pollys created.

    One from Erin...

    And a gorgeous ATC from Ona

    What will you come up with? What can you be grateful for in terms of family?

    [GRATITUDE] FAMILY

    I hadn’t intended to do this, but here I am.

    There is journaling under all the paints. It’s a poem (Mother) which can be read at my blog if you wish [trigger warning].

    I combined Days 1 and 2 and used the November BYOC (because :heartlub). I love the idea of making it in this notebook format:

    You can do it Anne. Look at your week in the life! This is one page every 4 days? I like this idea too. Now I'm getting too many ideas. Maybe December Daily for the quarters I like it.
