  • Stress Relief (Thankful Day 7)

    Even the experts know the importance of gratitude:  "Developing an attitude of  gratitude toward the people, things and events in your life is a life-affirming and effective way to strengthen your emotional resilience and reduce stress, among other things. Maintaining a gratitude journal makes it easy to get in the habit of focusing on the positive in your life, while also reaping the benefits of journaling."

    thanks

    So here goes a little stress relief:

    I felt especially blessed this weekend by a few friends in real life. 

    Thankful 5:

    Card of encouragement from a dear friend.  A timely word that fills me with joy.  (Love you, Heidi!)

    Thankful 6:

    Colorful friends that bring color to my sometimes overly conservative (beige) life.  (Even though she's never on the internet and won't be reading this, Love you, Monikue!)

    Thankful 7:

    Lighthearted fun and tasty food with our small group!  (Love to all of you who participated in Fun 101.  I loved that we were able to relax and get to know one another better!  I know some strange facts about each of you.  haha!)

    Need some stress relief of your own?  Gratitude is free therapy.
