Example Of A Gratitude Journal Analysis

Improved Essays
I am currently thankful but I do recognize that I am going through challenges with being a family man, dad and great husband. I have grown into this role over the past 7 years. It gets challenging at times being an adult. Somedays I just want to not have the responsibilities of waking every morning worrying about breakfast, lunch, dinner, groceries, bills, drop off pick-ups and all the other things that come with running a household. There are times that I would just like to take my wife out to dinner and not worry about coming back home two hours later because the babysitter is watching our kids. On top of this my wife and I are both in school and working.
With this week’s gratitude journal I am venting because these are some of the challenges

    Even though I had trouble with my gratitude journal entries, I enjoyed the act of doing it and what benefits I received. Before this specific practice, I thought I was a good example of someone who had great positive emotion. Although, after my experience I realized I externalize some of my disappointments which create negative emotions. I would often think about those negative feelings while I was laying down and it would make it difficult to sleep. I would blame the traffic for being late instead of saying I should have left earlier.…

    If my mom and dad would have never split up, my mom never would have met my step dad, who showed me that a man could love and care for a child as his own even if they aren’t blood. He spent time with me, bought me nice clothes and toys, and basically spoiled me my entire childhood. He always believed in me, and pushed me beyond my limits, because he saw potential in me. I do not think any less of him because he isn 't my real dad. Another reason I 'm thankful for the way I was raised, is that the home I spent most of my time at led me to believe that everything in life is easy and everyone can have nice possessions and go on fancy vacations, but I learned that was not the case.…
