2024 has been a year full of challenges, but even in the toughest moments, there are always reasons to be grateful. 💛 One thing that’s really helped is starting a gratitude journal — taking a moment each day to reflect on the little things that brought joy. ✨

If you’re looking to find your own moments of gratitude, why not give it a try? 🙏 We’ve put together 30 days of writing prompts to help you start your own gratitude practice. It’s a simple, uplifting way to reflect on the positives in your life and could be a fun activity to share with family or friends too! ❤️
