Sophie's animals in her gratitude journal make me smile. @Regrann from @sophiethurlow - My latest gratitude journal page for Future Plans. I came across this lovely quote by @monkey_quotes97 which really spoke to me. Being a naturally nervous kind of a person, I always speak myself out of things by thinking I'm not good enough. Next year I'm going to try and adjust my thinking and have a bit more confidence and start to put those dreams into action. The hedgehog is "Nixie", a hedgehog rescued by #prickleshedgehogrescue in Cheddar. They do amazing work there and I have always wanted to volunteer there and help this endangered species. The Airedale is @boristheairedale who I follow on Instagram and he represents my plan to draw more dogs in the New Year. Finally the @wwf logo represents how I would like to use my art to help wildlife, especially endangered animals. What are your goals for 2017?#gratitude52journal #g52prompt44 #artjournal #artjournalling #goals #plans #2017 #dogs #dog #airedale #wildlife #hedgehogrescue #hedgehog #nature #wwf #endangeredspecies #animalrescue #dogsofinstagram - #regrann
How fun, Shelly! @Regrann from @artsycrafty7 - For week 51: "2016" Contemplating the gift of time : time to read God's Word & worship, time for great meals & "get-togethers", time for music study & pets, time to be with friends & family, time for vacations to sunny places. And, of course, time to pursue art!🎨 And, hopefully, developing a stronger habit of Gratitude💗along the way. #gratitude52journal #g52prompt51 @gratitude52community - #regrann
As we wrap up our project, I am thankful for all of you. Here is LeighAnn's gratitude page for this last year. @Regrann from @uhsart - The fifty first gratitude journal prompt was "2016 Draw quote or illustrate your appreciation for the past year." As 2016 came to a close I was most grateful for all the help that was offered. I am so glad I live in this community which has supported me and my family during this difficult time. #g52prompt51 #gratitude52journal #anythingyouneed #help #visitors #food #hugs #ride #prayers - #regrann
And this camp fire page by Jennifer @nellie1rene for our Warmth prompt. 😍 @Regrann from @nellie1rene - #gratitude52community #g52prompt48 "Warmth" Never more grateful for warmth than when we camp in November & December! #4thseasonelkhunt #babyitscoldoutside #coloradohighdesert #Regrann
Lovely, Shelly. ❤🎄 Holiday happiness throughout the entire year. @Regrann from @artsycrafty7 - Thankfulness for "holidays" - ("holy days"). The partridge, a bird which will sacrifice herself to save her young, represents Christ ~ and the pear tree represents life and royalty. "The first day of Christmas" song tells us, in symbols, of the reason Jesus came...to willingly give himself on the tree at Calvary. My heart is so grateful for this Greatest Gift of Love 🍐🌿🎁🎄 #g52prompt49 #gratitude52journal @gratitude52community #gratitudejournal #Regrann
Great reminder, Sophie 💉💊❤ @Regrann from @sophiethurlow - My Gratitude Journal page for Medical Professionals. I'm so grateful for our Medical Professionals, our hospitals and our NHS. Over the last couple of years a few of my family members have needed emergency medical treatment and the care they have received has been excellent. Sadly it's hardly ever the positives that are shared, mainly the negatives but I want to say thank you to all of the health care workers who work tirelessly to help heal the sick and broken. #gratitude52journal #g52prompt42 #healthcareworker #healthcareprofessionals #doctors #nurses #nhs #nhsgratitude #thankyou #gratitude #artjournal #artjournaling #mayaangelou #mayaangelouquotes #quote #hospital #care #Regrann
Shelly's page for our Courage prompt ❤ @Regrann from @artsycrafty7 - #g52prompt45 "What inspires your heart as courageous?" My cousin lives with intense physical pain daily, yet she cares for her severely autistic son, living a home bound life far from what most of us enjoy as "normal" - and she remains joyful and sweet. Her courage and love inspire me, and remind me I have no right to complain! I'm so thankful for her ~ She walks in the strength of Isaiah 41:10 - God is our help!❤️ #gratitudejournal #gratitude52community #autismawareness #mommylove @gratitude52community #Regrann
😍 @Regrann from @artsycrafty7 - I remember, as a little girl, my warm winter mittens on a string that went through the sleeves of my coat so I wouldn't lose them (thanks, Mom!) - so for #g52prompt47 "Hands" I designated a special mitten on my string for each family member, & how I'm grateful for their hands that serve (my glove is the one with pom poms😉) 💕❄️ #gratitude52journal #mittensonastring @gratitude52community #Regrann
❤ to you, Leigh Ann. Holidays can be so hard. I'm praying for you, girl, and I'm certain this circle of wonderful women will do the same. @Regrann from @uhsart - This weeks Gratitude Journal prompt is ~ The Holidays. I drew the nursing home where my husband is currently residing. I will probably be there for Christmas and New. years. The staff is very nice. My friends and family have been very supportive. Life can change very quickly. #gratitude52journal #g52prompt49 #Regrann
If this is not the cutest illustration of an angel adoring over baby Jesus ❤ @Regrann from @scrappermamo - #gratitude52journal #G52Prompt49 Illustrate gratitude for the holidays. I am thankful for Christmas because it is a celebration of God's gift to us, His Son, God With Us. #PennyBlackStamp #watercolor #Regrann

Jennifer's #gratitudejournal entry for Courage. ❤❤❤ @Regrann from @nellie1rene - #gratitude52community #g52prompt45 "Courage" #navymom #proudofmysailor #Regrann #Gratitude52Journal
So love this, Shelly. Thank you for sharing. ❤ @Regrann from @artsycrafty7 - "Future" is such a hopeful word - maybe a year from now I will look back & see some significant progress in two of my goals: gaining new drawing skills, & progressing in riding skills. When I'm tempted to get discouraged from lack of time & talent, I need to remember what I often tell my kiddos, "Anything worth having is worth working for." Also, Proverbs 16:3! 🐴🎨🗓 #clearstamps #horseart #gratitude52journal #g52prompt44 #gratitude52community @gratitude52community #Regrann

Thank you for sharing, Sophie. 🙏 ❤ @Regrann from @sophiethurlow - My latest gratitude journal page for the prompt - Your Salvation Story.
