I kind of saw this coming (heh) from a mile away, given how some of the questions were set up. I actually think Martha or Donna would make more sense, but I'm hardly complaining.

Late start, but better late than never.

It's cool to see how far this has taken off. I see people who've never met estaratshirai and have no idea how The Gratitude Project started doing it. That's kind of amazing. (It's also why I link back to the original post every year, and it's been OMGs seven years!)

I've not seen estaratshirai around online for a bit, come to ( Read more... )

So, six years ago today, estaratshirai started The Gratitude Project. The assignment is to post something one is grateful for each day from Lammas (8/1) through Mabon (9/21). The same thing can be posted twice, but only if one is grateful for it for a different reason (e.g. grateful for one's friends because they are supportive one day and because they are ( Read more... )

So today, by at least some calendars, is Mabon. I haven't kept up posting daily-ish gratitudes (or, well, much of anything) since the 8th, and I'm not going to try to catch up two weeks of daily grats. But at various times over the past two weeks, I've found myself grateful for the following ( Read more... )

So, estaratshirai started this back in 2004. I missed the past couple of years, then jumped on the bandwagon on the last day in 2008. The deal is that from August 1 (Lammas/Lughnassadh) through September 21 (Mabon), which are two harvest festivals on the Wiccan calendar, you post at least something you're grateful for every day. No, I'm not Wiccan, and I don ( Read more... )

Happy Autumn - or Spring for those Down Under - to everyone else!

I haven't participated in estaratshirai's gratitude project in a couple of years. Which is silly, because it is a very good project and a practice I could particularly have used the benefit of these past few whiny weeks. Gonna do one entry for today, at least, on the last day of the project.

This week has been weird. On the one hand, no more classes, so yay! On the other hand, I am now very broke, and have thus picked up lots and lots of hours at the hospital (my per diem job where I have not worked at all since May). Between that fact and the lovely thunderstorms of the past couple of days, not so much with the online time ( Read more... )

9/19 - I'm grateful that the core of my Monday night Pilates & Yoga class appears to be holding together. It works muuuuch better with continuity ( Read more... )

I see a few people are repeating the Gratitude Project this year: to post something one is grateful for, every day from Lammas to Mabon. It was a good experience last year, so I'm going to repeat it, too.

Today, I am grateful for sine_silverwing and reaneau, and their responses to my post about my nephew, yesterday, and their suggestions. Everybody else seems to ( Read more... )

Today, I am grateful for a lot of things ( Read more... )
