One of the best ideas we have discovered for this Mother’s Day is a gratitude journal for Mom. Mother’s have so much to be thankful for so let her record her thoughts.
This gift is appropriate for mothers of all ages and for grandmothers and step-mothers. If you think your older mom has nothing to write about, take a look at this online gratitude journal. If your mother has a computer, you may want to include a link to The Online Gratitude Journal just so she can see how others record their thoughts. It may inspire her!
Someone turned us on to the site and we have become regular readers. Amazingly enough, it is written by an older woman (her description) who finds the most unusual things for which she is grateful. Not only has it inspired us to keep a personal gratitude journal, it has spurred us into action in our neighborhood.
If there is one thing we have discovered about the gift of a gratitude journal, for almost any occasion, it is that it forces some of us to keep a positive outlook on life and to look for good things that happen everyday.
The journal you give your mother or grandmother or step mom can be just the inspiration she needs. Let’s face it, everything likes to write down her thoughts. Many of us have dreams of writing the next great American novel or maybe an article of interest. If your mom is one who enjoys reading, give her the opportunity to try her hand at writing!
Definitely, one of the least expensive and most welcomed gifts for this Mother’s Day is a gratitude journal.
