I went shopping at our new Dollar Tree store that just opened on Sunday. Took the grand kids. Told them only one toy. Two grandkids. Should have been $2 right. Well, $25 later we walked out. I got some teacher stuff and 3 cards. Well, after the stress of my grandkids filling the basket up I reread the cards I picked out. (Only 50 cents for them but they were already picked over or I would have gotten more). Anyway, one card turned out to be a really cool prompt. I am going to share it with you all. It is just so "prompt"ful of journaling ideas all on one card...
On the front of the card it says "Finally, a thank-you note that says how I really feel."
Inside says...
grateful, happy, excited, elated, bewildered, amazed, loved, adored, cherished, supported, important, fussed-over, acknowledged, pleased, obliged, praised, honored, recognized, merry, mirthful, joyful, cheerful, delighted, gleeful, glad, contented, satisfied, enraptured, cheery, jolly, sparkling, enchanted, blissful, jovial, peaceful, exhilarated, gratified, ecstatic, charmed, pleasant, overjoyed, lighthearted, radiant, vivacious, sunny, smiling, content, animated, lively, spirited, exuberant, good-humored, jubilant, playful, thrilled, carefree, in good spirits, happy as a lark, beside myself, jazzed up, bubbling over, tickled to death, happy-go-lucky, in seventh heaven, on cloud 9, walking on sunshine, high as a kite, forever in your debt, embarrassed, unworthy, pleased as punch, happy as a clam, overjoyed...
^^^^^^^^^^
Now, wasn't that a cool prompt and all from one little fifty cent card.
I am going to take each word and do a word study on it. I love to look up the word. Find synonyms of it. And write how it relates to me at the time. So, maybe if you have time you could find a word in there or one of the phrases and do a word study.
I always wonder how we would know that a clam was happy? And why did they use cloud 9 as the one to say we are happy etc? Why not cloud twelve or whatever? Well, enjoy my virtual card I send you. Happy prompts....
