Over this past semester one of my assignments was to make a gratitude journal and write something each week that I was grateful for. I thought to myself that it would be something that is going to be good for me and benefit me. I think being grateful in life is one of the most heart felt and rewarding things. Each week I noticed I had so many things that I was grateful for. I realized even the smallest things in life mean the most to me. This assignment is something that I feel made me appreciate things more and the value of them. I am overwhelmed with how much peace this brought into my life. If all goes as planned, I will still continue to write about something each week that I am grateful for.
Looking back and reading all of my journal entries it was really heavy on my heart to see how much that I have grown and changed in just a short period of time. It is inspiring to see how much I have overcame and just time to look back and reflect. This semester has flown by to me. It feels like yesterday. I am grateful for all of the challenges and obstacles that have come my way this semester. They have made me into a better person and I would not be who I am today without them. I encourage you to write something you're grateful for each week in a notebook, google doc or even in your notes on your phone and a few sentences. I promise it will have an impact on you because it has an impact on me.
Here are some of the things I am grateful for as Spring 2021 semester comes to an end.
