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.

Project 365: ...said Little Miss Snapshot...

The year in pictures.

This is the goal. Inspired by my so-called-uncomplicated-friends project, I decided to give it a shot too. Project 365 is simply said, a photo log of the year. As said by photojojo.com, take a photo a day and see your life in a whole new way. And so my photo blogging began.

I have to give credit to Janine for this. Not only did the idea come from her, but I get a lot of my shot ideas and my photoshop techniques from her. With that said, I invite you to take a peek at my own project 365.

Drop by and see Yapatoots' Project 365 entitled "...said Little Miss Snapshot..." This is what my year in pictures has got to say. Although it started a little later than the calendar year, I still will keep it as a year long log of photos. Keep tabs on it as the days go by. Who knows...maybe I can inspire you to start your own!
