This is my gratitude journal entry for the week from Aug 4 to Aug 10 2025, aka Ten Things of Thankfulness (TToT).
Monday – Besides work, there was the usual grocery run.
Tuesday – Project work aside, we went to see a fashion garment exhibition. It was a traveling exhibition of celebrated designer Iris van Herpen. If you’re curious, visit the link on her name.
Wednesday – Small plumbing snag, and it got resolved after some hours. I thought of a new series of drawings, with some notes.
Thursday – To avoid a creative block, I started the first few lines of another series, in case I need it later.
Friday – The usual.
Saturday – The slow day ended with rainy weather so we postponed Mass to Sunday.
Sunday – Off to Mass, before it rained and yes, it rained after we reached home. Sunday is usually a slow, restful day.
This gratitude journal helps me to keep track of all the good (and sometimes non-good events) that happen. Recollecting my highs and lows helps me release my thoughts, and move on.
What are you grateful for today? Do you think you can record at least one thankful blessing daily? Or maybe you can write about a shower of pleasant surprises in a day?

It’s nice when the rain holds off until you’re back home, isn’t it.

liked your Thursday’s grat writing something and setting it aside for future use is one of tricks that we eventually learn… it’s there when you can’t get (something else) started… nothing harder than a blank page but, I find, even if the new lines don’t make it to the final draft it gets me started. Like they say, “It’s easier to edit than it is to write”.
