I'm such a rule-breaker (not really, but this time it's true). While everyone else participating in the
30-Day Gratitude Project was daily posting their photos on Instagram and whatnot, I was keeping them to myself, to share all at once at the end of the month.
So here we go- all 30 of my moments of gratitude this month.
 |
1: Home. |
 |
2: Inspiration. |
 |
3: Love. |
 |
4: Color. I think a picture of the sky has been my 'color' shot almost every year for this challenge, but I can't help myself. |
 |
5: Happiness. |
 |
6: Words. |
 |
7: Keepsake. |
 |
8: Nature. |
 |
9: Laughter. |
 |
10: Music. |
 |
11: Gift. |
 |
12: Wisdom. This is the shelf in my personal library that I reference the most frequently. |
 |
13: Art. |
 |
14: Routine. |
 |
15: Clothing. So grateful they dress themselves now! |
 |
16: New. |
 |
17: Weather. |
 |
18: Food. Chickens who provide us with so much, eating pumpkin seeds. |
 |
19: Beauty. |
 |
20: Friendship. |
 |
21: Technology. |
 |
22: Time. So grateful my girl is learning to tell time at school! |
 |
23: Scent. |
 |
24: Knowledge. |
 |
25: Comfort. My little thumb-sucker with is precious "Fresh Blanket." |
 |
26: Family |
 |
27: Luxury. |
 |
28: Work. I am so grateful for kids who willingly do chores! |
 |
29: Creativity. Aaaaarrrr-drey the Pirate in her box pirate ship. |
 |
30: Self-Love. It's cliche, but I rarely shop for myself, and it feels a little like love when I do get out... alone... for just me. |
This month was chaotic at best, and just like in the regular day-to-day that
isn't leading up to a holiday, I found it hard to stop and find something I was grateful for to focus on for every. single. prompt. Also there were some days when it seemed like
nothing was photogenic enough to make the cut... so I skipped a day here and there and doubled up on other days.
However, I still enjoyed this "challenge," and found myself able to appreciate things that might not have gotten a second glance- like the chalk art in the driveway- or things that are so appreciated and used that they're taken for granted- like my coffee maker.
Also, it's always fun to look back at a month and have a photo for every day that flew by, and I think that's what I like best about this project. The
saving of the days that speed by faster than usual when we enter into these holidays.
So long November, thanks for leaving me with a little somethin' to remember you by.
