Gratitude Logs. You’ve probably seen the beautiful Thanksgiving prompts floating around Facebook and Pinterest. Are you already participating in one? We’d love to hear about your experiences!
I haven’t done one this year, so this challenge was perfect for today! It’s been a busy week, and this is an ideal time to reflect on the many things I’m grateful for.
We talked about the 100 Things List in our Journal Challenge, so I’m going to demonstrate the concept here by writing 100 Things I’m Grateful For. Unedited. It’s ok if there are repeats, and they aren’t listed in order of importance. You’re just supposed to keep making the list without taking breaks until you’ve done all 100.

So true! Thanks for stopping by! -Maegan
This is a great idea and so important. When things get stressful it helps to keep gratitude in the forefront of my mind!
This is such a great idea. Being grateful helps me so much in the stressful times!
I love this idea. I’ve never tried this, but I like that you’re supposed to write as many as you can without taking a break. More honest that way!!
Oh I love this idea! I do weekly highs & lows with friends and that helps me balance the good with the bad when I reflect.
This is a nice idea, I totally believe in the power of gratitude. We need to appreciate the things we have
That’s such a great idea! There are so many things to be thankful for that we don’t realize.
So many things to be grateful for as you have pointed out with this list of 100 things!
These are great! You’re making me excited for fall. Was the “bouquets of sharpened pencils” from “You’ve Got Mail?” I’m grateful for that movie, back to school sales (teacher here!), pumpkin carving, and dressing up for Halloween!
Yes! I love when someone recognizes that reference. Good luck with your new school year! -Maegan
