i received an unexpected package in the mail this week.
if you know me, you know how excited i get when i get mail! especially when it is unexpected. it seriously can turn my worst days into the best.
this particular package was from my stake young women's president from home. i received my YW medallion last year, and recently the stake had a little ceremony dinner to recognize everyone who completed the personal progress program.
with me not living at home anymore, i was unable to attend.
each girl was given a gratitude journal.
i love it.
it is pink and leather bound with a fantastic quote on the front.
"Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character"
-Joseph B. Wirthlin
i have always written a little section of gratitude in my regular journal that i keep, but have been wanting to get one specifically for that.
i have carried it around with me all week and whenever i realize my gratefulness for something, big or little, i write it down in my journal.
i am excited to keep it going and if i am ever feelin blue, just take a glance at the things i have written down in it and recognize how blessed my life truly is and remember to always find joy in anything that i encounter.
so thanks, YW presidency! it was a very happy surprise :)
