I used to struggle with gratitude and would write the same things over and over again. I have learned that gratitude doesn't have to "BIG". It encompasses everything I encounter. And it fills me with happiness, good feelings and well, gratitude. Here are some things I have been grateful for this week. A momma robin landed in my back yard and even though she saw me, she continued to search for bugs. I took my elderly cat to the vet for a checkup and he is doing ok. My adult son brought me some blueberries and raspberries for healthy snack. I am grateful for the many ways my adult kids show their love and caring. I found a quote about filling up peoples "buckets" - sometimes my bucket needs filling and I am grateful that quote reminded me about it. I am grateful that I am a patreon on this channel because it brings me joy. (and fills my bucket) In the grocery store the other day, a lady ( who was wearing a mask), smiled at me. I knew she was smiling because her eyes were smiling. I was wearing a mask too and I smiled back. I am grateful for her smile but also grateful that I have learned to smile with my eyes.

Oh Laurie, those are absolutely wonderful things to be grateful for. Really moving every day moments and ones that are hopefully always within our reach. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰💕

Helen, this is such a timely video for me. My gratitude practice has fallen by the wayside as I have a tendency to repeat the same things and not go deeper as you have with your ideas regarding freedom of choice and for your body and it’s many capabilities. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I can’t wait to such up my own patchwork pages and remember how blessed I truly am!

I have already used the inspiration in creating one of the monthly coverpages in my sort of kind. :-)

I was finding it hard to get going with a gratitude page today, your beautifully simple layout idea (torn paper shapes with faux stitching) really helped me to get going. I think breaking the page down into those sections made it feel less daunting, as I knew I only needed to fill those spaces rather than a whole page. Thanks Helen!

Hi Helen. I just love this layout idea. I've been journaling my gratitude on my daily pages, and it somewhat clutters them. So, I like the idea of a separate two-page layout (or more, if needed). I'm amazed at how decorative pieces of scrap paper look by just putting some stitch marks all around. I love it. I think I'm going to check out your book. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Thanks so much, Helen. What a beautiful video. Again 🥰 I love to do gratitude pages and plan to start a self care journal sometime soon. So this lovely layout will probably be making appearances in it. I was just thinking that it might also look lovely to put down more vivid patterns and then glue smaller pieces of writing /plain paper on top to write on, but all with the wonderful torn edges like yours. Actually it is very interesting to see what we mention every day /often in our gratitude entries. When I write them, I mention the pony I am guardian of every time, or my friends. It feels like honoring them. Coffee makes a regular appearance as well 😄 Happy Sunday 🌻

@@HelenColebrook thanks so much for your reply. I might have just ordered your book (from my local store, it'll take a while but I look forward to it) I also keep a huge glue book made from an older issue of the Flow magazine and a tiny passport sized "book of tiny pleasures" where little snippets and memorabilia find a home. And even there I discover patterns of interest. It's very much hygge, animal, stationery and book related plus values I deeply care about.
