Dear Reader,

Can you remember a time when you felt bright and shiny? When a girl sparkles from the inside, she is giving off happy, positive emotions, and often, she wants to share those happy feelings with people around her. One way to shine on is to look for, remember, and celebrate things that make you feel grateful. Being thankful for all the good things in your life can help you see the world in a more positive way. And when you do that, it's easy to spread goodness and joy to others.

This is a special journal all about helping you discovering and collecting the bright, shiny times of your life, including big moments like starring in the school play and little ones like a hug from your brother. When you start to notice and remember the many times each day that you feel a spark of gratitude, it becomes a habit to embrace those warm feelings. But it takes practice, and in this book, you'll find lots of ways to look for and hang on to those moments.
