Beginning my Gratitude Journal

I am creating a gratitude journal, and will log three things I am grateful for each day. I will decorate it, post pictures in it and anything that will show I am grateful.

I believe it is especially necessary to do this after losing my hubby Larry last October. We had 42 years together and I would have liked another 42. Alas that won't happen, but I am still blessed. I need to remind myself I am blessed at this time to not dwell on my loss of my soul mate.

These are the photos of my creation.

Yes that is "Gone With the Wind". The poor old book was is such bad shape the pages literately fell out of it. I first reenforced the spine as the original had crumled, then gessoed it.
Then found paper that made me happy to look at. This is the end result.



There may be more embellishments along the way, but so far it makes me happy.
