#instagratitude2013

Kimberly

Last year I participated in instagratitude2012 – and this year, instagratitude2013 has begun! It’s a fun instagram project started by Jeran at Oleander and Palm (one of my favorite blogs – check it out!).

For the 30 days of November, the goal is to take a photo of something you are thankful for, then post it to instagram with the hashtag instagratitude2013. It’s a great way to usher in this Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season – posting a photo of something you are grateful for each day gives you reason to stop for a moment and appreciate all the blessings that surround you. I find this really calming and helpful at a time when I’m usually fretting about what to cook for thanksgiving or about what Christmas gifts to buy.

You can read more about #instagratitude2013 here.

Anyone can participate – just share the things that you are thankful for. It’s also fun to see what other people are posting at the same time.

Will you join in?

Instagratitude Wrap-up

Kimberly

The 30 days of the November Instagratitude2012 project have come to and end. Not too long ago, I shared the first half of my instagratitude2012 posts and as November 30th has come and gone, I thought it would be nice to share some photos from the second “half.” I found the project really fun and thought provoking. On a daily basis I was making it a point to look around me and find things that inspired me and made me feel grateful – something I should do more often every month.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope those of you who celebrate have a spectacular Thanksgiving Day today. I’m looking forward to seeing family…and cranberry sauce.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’ve been participating in #instagratitude2012. It’s been really fun, and I plan to continue posting instagram images of things I’m thankful for for the rest of November. I really do think it has influenced an attitude of gratitude within me that I want to carry with me throughout the whole holiday season and into the new year.

Today I want to give a big #instagratitude2012 shout-out to all of YOU! Those of you who read, follow, and comment on my blog make the whole process worthwhile. Almost a year since starting out on this blogventure (new word), blogging has become even more of a fun, rewarding and inspiring experience than I ever thought it could be, and I am so grateful to be able to share my thoughts and ideas with my readers each week.

Thank you all for inspiring me!
