Welcome to the Gratitude Project


In January 2009 we set out on a creative adventure, vowing to look for and record the everyday blessing in our lives. We were hopeful that the experts would be right..that focusing on the good things that surround us would make us happier, reduce our level of stress, and allow us to cope better when difficulties arose. Those of us who participated found those benefits and many more we didn't expect. We learned about one another, and more importantly, we learned about ourselves. And in the process, we made great friends and created an album of our blessings we are sure to treasure for years to come.

As this project comes to an end, a new one and similar one is starting at the Weekly Gratitude blog. Some of us will be continuing our journey there as we found raising the awareness of our blessings to be so beneficial we want to continue the practice in 2010. The resources here, however, will remain available in the hopes they will motivate and inspire those just starting on their own creative adventure.

It seems only right that the final video should be a different version of our first one, The Gratitude Dance. In every journey, one should pause for a little fun along the way.

Gratitude is the intention to count your blessings every day, every minute, while avoiding, whenever possible, the belief that you need or deserve different circumstances.

Thank you so much for the honor of being named the featured member for this month. I am enjoying this project so much (and am seriously dedicating my time to get caught up) and thank you for being the inspiration behind it. I just wish we had more people who were posting their work for all of us to enjoy. I have really enjoyed Jill Conyers' photos and she has been the inspiration for my on-photo journaling. Hopefully I am inspiring others as well. I think this is such a worthwhile project and so doable (even though I get behind at times!) Thanks again for the honor.
