Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

There is always something new and special to notice and appreciate. Each day brings new opportunities and adventures if we are open to them.
This week was a great beginning to what I believe will be a wonderful year.  This year I am continuing my practice of writing a Friday post on the things that I am grateful for each week.  But I have started something new that I hope I will continue throughout the year.  I have started an art journal which I am going to work in each day.  I will begin the day with an intention and end the day writing what I am grateful to have experienced.  Even if I only paint or draw in my journal ten minutes a day, I want to draw or paint something.  I am hoping by adding an art journal to my day I will acommplish many things.  One of my goals for the year is to improve my artwork.   I know practice makes perfect so I thought this might be a good way to practice while also noticing and remembering and now documenting all of the wonderful things I see around me.
I am so grateful to all of the people who have been so helpful and encouraging as I continue on this creative journey.  Your work, your encouraging words, and advice all mean so much to me..  This week has been a great start to what I hope will be a very creative and productive year. Thank you for being a part of it.
I would love to know what has brought you joy this week.

I think it's great that you started and art journal and especially a gratitude journal. Wonderful. I'm sure it will inspire you to do more art. Nice job already.

You're off to a great start. You'll be amazed at what all you start to see, and at how quickly the practice begins to pay off.

What an amazing way to start the year! It is amazing how a few minutes a day can add up to hours and hours and hours within a year!

Starting a journal is a brilliant idea....your page here is lovely. I know what you mean about wanting to improve, I do too. But I have discovered that we can only develop and not necessarily be any better in any particular direction.
Your work certainly appeals to me and I look forward to seeing how you develop it through the year!
The thing to do is to have the maximum amount of fun with your new journal:(

What a wonderful idea to start the new year with! And a sweet drawing! Doing something every day, even if it's just a little, is so rewarding, and the practising bit - I totally agree. It's one of my goals for this year as well! :)
