gratitude project {volume one}

simply love

hi! welcome to the first month of my new gratitude project- so very excited to have you here! here is a re-cap of my vision for the project: i read once that the key to living a happy and fulfilled life is to reflect and to show gratitude. so i told myself that i would take in moments throughout my day and would document these moments through photos. it really amazed me how i started to notice things that i never would have noticed before. now i try to take at least one photo every day of something that i am grateful for. simple things that are ways to celebrate the good in my life – the everyday celebrations. i feel spiritually and physically stronger because of this task and would love to encourage you all to do the same– to discover more about the power of gratitude in your life. our blogging community has also helped to inspire me to be more grateful. almost all of the bloggers i follow express gratitude regularly. 

…this got me thinking… 
what if we all come together near the end of each month {on the 29} and share our month through photos- sharing the simple moments where we took a step back and were grateful. i am hoping that this little project/link-up will bring strength, encouragement, and joy to others. i would love to see what inspires you most on a daily basis. 
i plan to use #simplylovegratitudeproject as a hashtag for the project. 
please join me-
 i would love to have you. 

next link-up will be monday, december 29

*i plan to feature certain blogs each month-
along with some giveaways for bloggers who join in on the fun*

    Lovely photos! I'm desperate for a night out with good gauc and margaritas. Taking my hubby to my favorite Mexican place in NYC in a few weeks so we'll get some of that crossed off (margaritas will have to wait until baby arrives, ha)!
    You do Christmas crackers on Thanksgiving too?? I definitely thought we were the only people who do that!! πŸ™‚
