I’ve decide to change the name of my project from “Finding Gratitude” to “Daily Gratitude” because I don’t have to find it. It’s there for me daily.
This week I really had a sense of thankfulness for where I work. From the beauty of the campus and getting to walk around it. To being surrounded by learning and individuals driven by helping people learn/grow/succeed.
I still don’t know what I want to do ‘when I grow up’ but I’m getting a better sense of what it looks like.
I’m not going to lie….this week it was rough getting my daily pictures. Call it lack of inspiration, being busy, bad weather….what have you. It was just hard. There was no lack in gratitude, it was just capturing that was hard. I will try more this week.
Another week of seeing the simple joys in each day (and trying to remember to capture them with my camera). I still need to get out with my camera more and not just use my phone but will work on that. What I am remembering to do is see the little, happy moments that make up my life and make it all mine. Here’s my week:
Feeling grateful for a full week of simple things. Isn’t that what a life fully alive is really made of? A series of simple things that bring you joy?
There are areas in life that we find a bit challenging right now, where we are stretched to believe that things will change, but we are choosing to focus on the simple, little, and beautiful things that make up our lives. The moments together, the small home that makes communicating a requirement, sunshine, sleeping in, good food, technology that allows us to connect with friends and family that aren’t in town, and time to grow and dream.
Another good week of looking at my daily life and seeing the gifts in the details. The joy and blessing in the ordinary. I am grateful to all I was given in this past week.
Another week full of sweet and simple pleasures. I am really enjoying being intentional with my focus on gratitude during the week and look forward to what each day brings.
A friend and I were thinking about living in the “now” yesterday and how it’s hard to not get caught up in the what you want/don’t have/want to accomplish someday..but by focusing on the things that you have right NOW that are good, and great, and wonderful, the “someday” things just don’t seem as important.
Here’s my week:
