Tom knew I needed this. Journaling isn't a new thing for me. I've even had periods in my life (like in college) when I've used my journal as a "gratitude journal". Now that I blog, my blog has become my journal. The journal Tom gave me is specifically for the purpose of recording my gratitude each day. On days when I am emotionally and physically exhausted I open this book and start with the smallest of things. Like being grateful that I was able to diffuse a potentially contentious situation between me and the children. Or being grateful for clean sheets. It's amazing once I start writing how other things come to my mind. Some days I can only come up with one or two things. Other days I write more. Every once in awhile Tom will have added an entry of how he is grateful for me or something I've done. Just reading his thoughts helps me to love him even more. Perfect gift, Tommy Boy.
