to be thankful

in life, it is often hard to be thankful. yes, it is easy to be thankful for the big things...the bonus in the paycheck, the presents we receive, the stroke of luck that suddenly hits us...but to be truly thankful and grateful for the mundane and the everyday is often difficult, especially nowadays when things are so difficult.

in view of this, starting february i am starting a new project 365...365 things to be grateful for in each day. inspired by oprah's gratitude journal, this is my take on embracing the simple abundance in my life. while her version entails listing 5 things to be grateful for for each day, i will settle for a photo essay of things i am grateful for everyday. come drop by and maybe you too will find something to be grateful for...even if your day isn't going great.
