I have been trying for two years to complete Simple Abundance - but life gets in the way, I get lazy & give up. this year I want to succeed, this year I have promised myself that I will complete it and if I miss a day or two, I will not slap myself about the head and body, nor will I tar and feather myself. Today - the gratitude journal - wonderful! I can continue on my Sunday gratitudes here and then daily write them into my journal - it says to buy a new book for the gratitude journal but I think, I will just write them into my one and only journal or maybe I can find pictures that I am grateful for...I find it hard to put into words what I am grateful for - oh yes - the usual things - the husband, the children, health etc etc but most times I miss the little things in life, you see, I am busy rushing headlong into life that I don't slow down to smell the flowers or to smile at the old man on the street, so this will be a challenge.

I have reread it several times, but I confess to never actually keeping up with the journal.If you miss a day, just read until you catch up again...it's *allowed*.
Trust me to be the last one to find out what that is all about! I have read about this Simple Abundance on your blog and others over the past year, but really had no idea what it was. Last week I was in Borders bookshop and there they were - two or three I think - large wonderful looking books just asking me to take them home. Alas, they were right out of my price range at this time in my life, but now that I've seen them, I may just drop a hint in the right directions that this is what I would like for my next birthday!
Oh Robyn ....I know what you mean about the Gratitude Journal...When you start looking around you notice so many wonders of the world...so much to be thankful for...the slant of the sunlight,childrens laughter etc. I even started finding beauty in unlikely places and often do that for fun....even colors and shapes in the rusty old ruins....:-)
Lovely post, Robyn and photos.
Good attitude!
Beautiful vintage little dress and handbag in the photo...gorgeous, actually. Like you. xox
Wonderful idea, the gratitude journal - whichever way works best for you, is the way to go, I think.
Lovely little excerpt there.
Hope you have a wonderful day, Miss *R*!

What a nice idea to have a gratitude journal. Looks like you had a nice trip too, love that bus!
Your sea shells remind me of the ones I collected when I saw the North sea in England. Never saw a sea before. I also gathered up some seaweed and brought it home. You should ahve seen the look on the customs guys face LOL It smelled like a nice bubblebath strangely. Pssssst....it was on the 3rd :) Yours must be soon. Thanks for such a sweet compliment too :)

I have read Simple Abundance a couple of times. I keep it beside my bed and read each day as it comes along. I also keep a gratitude journal and write in that at night before bed. I find if I keep both books right there beside my bed I don't forget.
I love your entry today!

I so love that book and I tried to keep a journal. It just didn't work for me. However, I still feel for the short time I did participate it felt very good. Hope you have good luck.

I LOVE this book but I think my favorite is Romancing the ordinary also by the same author.
