In Pursuit of Happiness be grateful

30 Nov 2016 Comments Off

Dear Fellow Journalers,

Gratitude comes in many forms. it’s about relationships, experiences and moments. If I want to be happy, I need to experience gratitude. Here’s what I try to do everyday:

a) I take a Gratitude Break. If I’m feeling down about something, I stop for about 10 minutes and think about past and present experiences and the people I just couldn’t live without.

b) I try everyday to be present and aware and live in the moment.

c) I remember to breathe.

d) I try to live simply.

e) I write in my Gratitude Journal.

Since I create and sell greeting cards, I send Friendship and Thank You cards a lot. Some of my cards are below:

Daisies

Lighthouse

Remembering

Some of my cards have sentiments I have shared previously, but if you want to write a letter, Hallmark has some hints for you from their blog:

This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much.”

“You have no idea how much your help has meant.”
“For all the little and big ways you’ve pitched in…thanks!”
“There was nothing random about your acts of kindness. Thank you for all you have done.”
“I can never thank you enough. But this is a start.”
“You always know how to make life brighter for everyone you know.”
“I can’t possibly repay you.”
“You are always so helpful.”
“You make the world a nicer place.”
“You went above and beyond, and I am touched and grateful.”
“You took common courtesy to an uncommon level. We’re so grateful for your help.”
