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.
*i plan to feature certain blogs each month-
along with some giveaways for bloggers who join in on the fun*
…
i also plan to link-up with ember gray weekly
for what i am currently grateful for.
my link-up on simply love is to reflect on a monthly basis
using photos and grateful heart notes
on how i am progressing/my thoughts each month
you all should join in on this link-up as well!
…
lastly, i am inspired by these great wreath ideas
esp. this photo wreath
i hope your weekend is going well!
please feel free to reach out to me with any questions
…comment below if you plan to join me …
i am grateful for all of you and would love to share this gratitude project with you all!

That's a great list of gratitude! Wine and sushi nights with friends are such good things to be grateful for – and definitely She Reads Truth! Doesn't the new thankfulness study start today? Perfect timing! 🙂

What an incredible idea!! I love finding those small moments and saying my prayers of "thanksgiving", but to actually write them down or take photos is such a great idea!

Alright well everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) is talking about Gilmore Girls and I've seen it on Netflix, and would you believe I've NEVER seen it? I really feel like I need to now! 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up, Nelle! I look forward to getting to know you better via blogland!

Hi! Thank you so much … you helped inspire me. Thank you again! I love the wreath as well and Gilmore Girls has been a love of mine since about 2006 … it never gets old. I recommend giving it a go and seeing if you love it as well. That and Sex and the City are my go to shows for re-runs. I love your blog- happy to link-up and I agree- can't wait to get to know you better as well!! Have a great evening! xo
