Thank you for beginning this thread, garden gal. I have started a gratitude journal. But never seem to stick with it. I would be glad to contribute to this thread...... and of course begin a gratitude journal again. I try to stay in the threads where the emphasis is on trying to do things that are productive. Believe me, I have my depression issues. More than my share. But I need the producitve actions. And i have great challenge self motivating. Thanks again <3<3<3
