Grattitude Comments for the past week

I decided it would be much more fun to go public with my grattitude thoughts for the week than to post privately. Hopefully, it will spark some thoughts about what you're grateful for, too. I know that the ideal is to write about what you're grateful for every day, but I know myself, and I won't follow that method at first, I need to experience this without guilt for "not doing it right" first. So that's why it's weekly. We'll see how it goes, I'm excited to see where it leads.

  • The time I spent with my grandma this week.
