Gratitude journals are lovely, but try one on the move. Each time the leash tugs, name something you’re grateful for. Fresh air. Strong legs. Your dog’s ridiculous enthusiasm for squirrels. The small stuff counts, too—like sunshine on your face or a stranger’s smile as you pass. Linking gratitude to the rhythm of the walk creates micro-moments of perspective. Suddenly, stressors shrink, and your pup gets the same walk they always do—but you come back changed. You’ve paired their daily ritual with your own. Gratitude grows with practice, and your dog? They just think it’s the best day ever. Again.
