Hi Luisa,

Thank you for your feedback. We try to offer a variety of page counts and size formats for all types of use and it is always useful to hear what we should produce more of. We will pass your feedback along to our Design team.

All the best!

We give you full permission to vent, MintyMim!

We’re glad to hear that you find anti-gratitude journalling just as therapeutic as writing about the positive things and are, of course, “grateful” you chose our journals for it! Sometimes you really do need to get it out, and you are so right that keeping it bottled up can become unhealthy.

While finding things we’re grateful about can be powerful and positive, and occasionally knowing it could have been worse is good…. I just occasionally get tired of the ‘be grateful! have gratitude!’ message that has been so prevalent in magazines and social media of late.
When I’m in some moods, sometimes the last thing I need is to be told to be grateful for what I have. Even if deep down I know that I should. It sounds like a nagging parent and somehow I feel bad for wanting my stuff to be better… and I’M GRUMPY AND I JUST NEED TO GRUMP AND BE A SELFISH COW AWHILE THANK YOU.

Um… *cough* pardon that. I’m deeply, profoundly grateful for many things, large and small, and I have taken to really noticing what I’m grateful for, and it helps. But I do love the idea of a grump journal! And let’s be real: we all have plenty of bad (and cranky!) feelings and sometimes they need time to be thought about and felt (or laughed at!). I think we’d be more unhealthy for shoving them aside in the sake of being grateful, when letting off steam or working through the feelings and getting a plan would be better. Journals are a decent place to help with all that.

So to finish: I’m seriously grateful for the existence of such jaw-droppingly gorgeous journals to write in. Thank you.
