DocIt – Gratitude Binder Printable

Organization

November is here and Thanksgiving is just around the corner! That’s the day we remember to be thankful. But why do we only take time to be thankful one day out of the year? It’s important to practice gratitude daily because remembering the little things you are thankful for each day gives you a better outlook on life and a more positive attitude. Even on a bad day, looking for a few things that make you happy can turn your frown upside down!
