Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 85

I've had a bit of a break from posting Gratitude Journal pages here, not because of going camping as we had intended, but instead dealing with major health issues in the family.

So today I'm posting a swag of pages with butterfly borders, that you can use for whatever topics you like:

Title - Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 83 - Enjoyment

 The topic for today's Gratitude Journal post is something you enjoy.

When I started doing these pages for a Gratitude Journal, I thought I might do maybe 50... but I've kept getting ideas and making new pages, so now it's over 80.

I do have a few more, so I'll add them as "open" topics - though we'll be away camping at the start of December so I won't post every day.

So here is today's page, in a few different colour choices:

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 77 - the Internet

Those of us who grew up without the Internet are still often amazed at its existence and the way it has opened up our lives with instant worldwide knowledge and communication.

How do you use the Internet to enrich your life?

    

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 76 - Art

Art can take many forms, not just painting or drawing – it may be sculpture, collage, textiles, cake decorating, photography…

Even the most amateur dabbler in art can gain great pleasure and therapy from the hobby.

Another aspect is the enjoyment and emotion felt from seeing art works.

What does art do for you?
