Gratitude Journal no. 6
/If you’re new here
I decided to challenge myself to publish my personal writing more. From pausing to deliberately reflect to getting more disciplined about creating for myself, I jumped into this goal. For a little more on this journey, check out my first public Gratitude Journal entry.

I am thankful for…
1. The sun and fresh air. Chicago is where I spend most of my time. It’s not the sunniest of places. These last few days have been especially cold, but the sunshine has helped. I will always be grateful for time outside in the sun.
2. Hikes. I was in San Diego last week and hit the streets, trails, and beaches. It was awesome. I never take a hike and not feel better after. It is good for me and I am thankful that I have awareness of their impact on my mind and body.
3. Snow boots. It’s amazing what the right gear can do for surviving bad weather. I’m thankful I have warm and comfortable boots that enable me movement in cold weather. Feet are important and I’m grateful I can protect mine - it’s not the cheapest or what I’ve always done.
