I know I am always working on how to be more grateful. Are you?
Love how there is a set time – 21 days – to work on ourselves. There is accountability available too! I know I could always use that.
A Life of Gratitude: 21 Days to Overcoming Self-Pity and Negativity
By Shelley Hitz
About the Book:
During a season of transition in my life, I found myself overwhelmed with negative emotions like self-pity and a complaining spirit. It was as if a dark cloud had descended over me. I prayed and asked God for wisdom on how to overcome these negative emotions. As I did, I sensed Him leading me to do a 21 day gratitude challenge.
Over the course of the 21 days, God began to change me as I spent intentional time being grateful for all I had been given. I did this through writing in my journal each day and also sending a hand-written thank you note to someone different each day. This also led me to writing out 21 prayers of gratitude and compiling 21 stories of gratitude.
I want to share what I learned with you in the pages of this book which includes:
21 Days of Gratitude Challenge
21 Prayers of Gratitude
21 Stories of Gratitude
What to Expect On Each Day:
Read my personal stories, struggles and reflections.
Read one scripture and one quote about gratitude.
Apply one personal application step from the challenge.
Read one prayer of gratitude
Read one story of gratitude
Get Accountability and Encouragement
Along with the 21 day challenge, I also started a private Facebook group to provide accountability and encouragement for myself but also for others who decide to join me in the challenge. You will get access to this group as well. It has been amazing to see God at work in each of our lives.
Will you join me on this journey to gratitude?

The only thing I have had time to read lately is my Bible, hopefully on day I can finish reading The Dreamhouse Kings series.
I just finished “Raising Free Thinkers” and will finally pick up “Gone Girl” from the library tomorrow! I’ve been waiting for it forever.
