I’m not one that experiences depression often, but I have on a couple occasions experienced clinical depression. My first bout was in the fall of 2009. A couple years ago, I experienced another bout and my husband encouraged me to start a gratitude journal. I humored him and focused on 3 things a day I could be thankful for. I can’t say that it is what brought me out of the depression, but I have made it a practice to find things everyday that I give gratitude too.
Here are 30 things I am thankful for this year.
