The Gratitude Project

The following message is for both my Scrappy and non Scrappy Readers:

One of my favorite people Brenda Arnall is doing a Gratitude Project for 2009 ....here's what is all about (taken from the website)

Life is good! It isn't perfect and it isn't without concern for what lies ahead, but there is much to be grateful for as we go about our daily routines.

By taking the time to focus on the good things in our lives, we gain numerous benefits to our physical and mental health. Studies show that people who acknowedge their gratitude on a regular basis don't dwell on their pain and problems but direct their energies in other more positive ways. Best of all, it multiplies...the more you focus on your blessings, the more blessed you feel. We can all benefit from emphazing the good that surrounds us.

Throughout 2009 we'll be looking for and recording the blessing in our lives on a weekly basis. For most that means a photograph and some type of journal/scrapbook for our thoughts, but the actual format remains a personal choice. So while tangible documentation may vary, the thought behind the project remains the same...taking time to recognize the good in our lives.

We'll use this site to connect, share and inspire one another as we take this journey together. Each member is free to add content, making it a true community for the benefit of all.

It's simple: 52 weeks...52 photos...52 blessings. We hope you'll pull up a chair and join us...and see just how good your life is, too.
