Here is a tough journal writing suggestion. Pick someone, a child, spouse, parent or friend and think deeply about all the things you appreciate about them. Now write it down in your journal, you can write it as a list, a poem or a letter.

By writing it in your journal, it won't be lost over time and it can be revisited when that relationship is strained.

This is a great birthday gift. It is made by you, very personal and will almost certainly make the recipient feel great!
