30 Days of Gratitude

For the month of November, I have been snapping a photo of the everyday as an exercise in appreciating what is taken for granted. I drew inspiration from this post, and challenged anyone interested in doing the same to join me and link up here in this space at the end of the month.

Well, it's the 30th! What did you find and capture day to day this month? What did your lens bring focus to that you might have otherwise not given a second thought? Were you surprised by what you saw, what you captured?

I must admit, there were some days when I found it challenging to find something representative of the item of the day. There were other days where I found multiple opportunities to capture what I was looking for.

On the whole I did enjoy this challenge, and it may turn out to be a tradition worth repeating in another year... we'll see!

Anyho, without further adieu, I present my 30 Days of Gratitude:

1: Favorite Food

2: Smile

3: Happiness 

4: Leaves

5: Morning Light

6: Books

7: Something Funny

12: Hands

13: Written Words (or Numbers)

14: Movement

So, what did you find yourself feeling grateful for this month?
