365 Days of Gratitude

As 2013 is about to start I have been thinking about a 365 day challenge. Elsie over at A Beautiful Mess tried one last year. She talks about it here. Amy of Amy Tangerine challenged herself with Project Life. I'm thinking this is something I would like to try.

I thought about a few possible options (self-portraits, sketching daily, the standby exercise). Ultimately, I decided to challenge myself to a photography challenge.

It's easy to get caught up in the negative and the what now's when going through a challenging time. The stress can consume me and I forget to open my eyes wider and see the positives. There are so many blessings and those should be recognized.

So, my 365 day challenge will be to take a picture day of something I am grateful for. I want to open my eyes and my heart to the positive, recognize the blessings, and celebrate the good that exists.

Stay tuned, for the first post tomorrow!
