Today I went and read another blog (of whom I did not know) but I clicked on the "next blog" tab, (which has sometimes not been very rewarding) but this one was really neat. I only read the first few posts she had done, but I caught onto an idea she was doing, that I have decided to do as well!
She called it "Appreciation for the day". I don't know what I'll call mine yet. But what she did was before she posted anything that day, first thing early in the morning, she posted about one (or more, but not long) things she was appreciative for. It was really neat. One day it was for her nephews (she didn't have children) that she could watch them play & give hugs & kisses. The next day she posted a neat picture of a mountain & the sky, and talked about just how nice it was to wake up to a clear blue beautiful sky, after they had been having so much snow! It was cool, and it inpsired me.
I used to do this a few years back only I had it in a "thankful journal". Each day I just did one quick page, and it was interesting how much you realize you have to be thankful for. I noticed that it also helped me not be or get depressed, and really just started the day out in a possitive way. There was even a talk this General Conference that talked about the power of being grateful, and how much a grateful heart pleases the Lord. I agree. So, that is what I am going to (try) to remember to do each time I blog! Now, I don't blog every day, but I am going to try to remember to do that first thing!
