I am pleased to share that I will be continuing my monthly gratitude posts. If you are unfamiliar with these, each day I write down one thing that makes me happy and at the end of each month I share them all in a blog post. I have done this for two years now and it’s a beautiful thing to be able to look back on.
Here’s what made me smile this month:
January 1: Steps sing-a-long.
January 2: Bought a bullet journal!
January 3: Getting to see my favourite little face after work.
January 4: I like rain and grey days.
January 5: Tango’s day 💔
January 6: Double episode of Pretty Little Liars.
January 7: Murder mystery tucked up with a warm blanket.
January 8: Long hugs.
January 9: Chocolate eclair after work.
January 10: Received a lovely compliment and sweets from a lady at work.
January 11: Saw some cute kittens on my SPCA visit.
January 12: Filmed my first YouTube/blog video.

January 16: Blogger friends are so kind.
January 17: Work uniform arrived – the vest and pullover fit so nicely.

January 19: New Kylie music.
January 20: Wore MAC’s Tan pigment for the first time – LOVE.
January 21: My New Look playsuit is one of my favourite items of clothing.
January 22: Productive afternoon/evening.
January 23: Sponge cake for my birthday tomorrow!
January 24: Treated myself to donuts after work, so good!
January 25: Making good progress with the jigsaw.
January 26: Cinema and late night Dominos.
January 27: Cuddles are the best way to start a day.
January 28: Had the tastiest drink, sparkling white grapefruit flavour.

1) We have the same bullet journal, so I love that, 2) I appreciate that you can keep up with this, because I wasn’t able to, most days I come home so bitter I cant focus on anything but that. You are an inspiration to my future February

Bullet journaling is so fun! Hope you’re enjoying yours 🙂
I have my share of bad days too but I don’t let them get to me as much as I once did, this exercise really helps me think more positively.

I love this idea! I think I am going to start jotting something like this down in my journal. I think it’s a great way to feel positive even on days life is getting you down. Great post, Chanelle! xxx
