Gratitude Project

Every year between Lammas (August 1) and the Fall Equinox (September 22), I celebrate the Gratitude Project with an ever-changing group of friends and family. It’s simple: I aim to post, or write in my private journal, something I’m grateful for every day. Want to play along? Comment here and let me know where you’ll be posting your gratitudes.

Today, I’m grateful for yesterday being a day so full and wild that I actually missed posting in my blog, something I almost never do. It was a day surrounded from morning to very, very late at night with people I love doing lovely things. I played cards, snuggled my kids, had long talks with old friends, experimented with strange food, jumped in a bouncy castle, went to a birthday party, and slept in late. In roughly not that order at all.

Today was just as full, with ritual and circus and a delicious brunch. I’m grateful for the chance to do all that, and just as grateful for the fact that there is not a blessed thing on my calendar tomorrow.

    I think I’ll play along as well, but in my blog specifically for spiritual things. http://littleeaglewomansnest.blogspot.com/

    We do this as a family every night while we eat dinner we say what we are grateful for and what we are intending for. It’s amazing the things children say.
