Last year, I discovered this great app entitled "Thankfulfor." It's akin to having an online gratitude journal-- on my iPhone. It allows me to type in what I'm thankful for, and date stamps each entry--wherever I am.
In anticipation of the approaching turkey day holiday (make that tofurkey day for me!), here's a sampling of a few past entries I have made using this app:
