A change of attitude

So lately I've been having a rough time with life in general......

Nothing major

Nothing horrible

Just life.

Most of it is out of my control and I just am going to have to suck it up and deal with it. Some of it I could change but due to the subsequent consequences I'm not ready/willing to right now.

So I decided what was needed was a change of attitude.......

So come April 1st I am going to try

30 days of gratitude

It's a 5x7 album with rings so that I can add stuff along the way if I want to. I used different papers from different companies out of my stash. I did kind of decide on a color scheme but that's as much planning as I did. The pages are already numbered to keep me honest :o)

Inside 1 gratitude

I'm going to add a few more embellishments before I start but most of it I'm going to do as I go. The pages are not all the same size.

Inside 2 gratitude
Some pages I'll just journal on, some I will add some photos or mementos too. By the 30th of April I will have a book to look back on and remember all the things that make my life wonderful.

Won't you join me? I'd love to share your joys :o)

We could all use a new attitude adjustment ever now and then...I love the idea. I love the way you plan to display your "Changes of Attitude," and most of all, Count me in...Peggy from Jeff. County

This is great. I was blue and I think this would make me more appreciative. I talked to a lady that had been an exchange student 20 years ago. I just couldn't imagine going to a foreign county and only getting to go home one in 2 1/2 years. I talked to her for 30 minutes. Yes I was very appreciateive when I got off the phone. I meet you girls at Croptopia last Saturday. You girls are wonderful. Hope to come back maybe for a class.
