This is the final set of photos from my Gratitude Journal.
(I love our new color laser printer for printing online graphics)
One of my all-time favorite quotes . . .
I have always admired Helen Keller.
Another of my all-time favorites.
Emerson's "the only gift is a portion of thyself" was the greeting on the last Christmas card I received from my maternal grandfather. I kept that card for years and am sorry I don't still have it to put in this journal.
Having grown up in Michigan, I was delighted to find this stamp with the bridge.
I like the idea of counting rainbows instead of thunderstorms, a lot.
Gratitude plus kindness plus joy create a wonderful framework for this journal.
While I might dabble with watercolors, I sincerely doubt I'll ever do well enough to create something like this wonderful bird.
This combination makes me happy.
Some of the older off-paper stamps, like these, are pretty interesting.
A piece torn from a magazine plus a wonderful quote graphic.
And one final postcard by Dori Patrick. I've never seen this quote but I do like it.
Final interior page . . .
And the inside back cover. I just HAD to include a squirrel somewhere in the journal!
