Merie's Grateful Journal

Since 2011, I kept a grateful journal, a hard copy one, handwritten. As 2014 unfolded, I decided to put my 2014 journal up online and with photos. Hopefully, I could maintain this as my handwritten ones. Now this is solely dedicated to life's trivial and grand things to be thankful for. Because each day is a blessing and each hour brings something worth being grateful about.
