It's been a while since I've blogged here. Life happened. As change begot change, I found it important to remember all the marvelous things in my life then and in the past. About a year ago, while leafing through Psychologies magazine at The Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath, I came across a study on Gratitude Journals. Research has shown that those who are more grateful for the good things in their life live longer, combat diseases and crisis better and are generally happier souls. Keeping a gratitude journal is easy - buy a lovely journal, something beautiful for yourself. Write 5 things in it each day that you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as sunshine. Now, I must admit, I get lazy. With all the change and relocation in my life, I haven't been very good about keeping it regularly. But when life got darkest, it helped. It kept me focused on what really matters and makes me happy.
So at risk of turning this blog into something more alternative, I'm going to write more and more about all those little things that you can inject into yourself to make it a more harmonious one. This includes spirituality, exercise, travel, beautiful things and more.
