My project comes in the thoughts of the holiday we over the years seem to keep forgetting more and more!!! This projects idea was started when I saw many of my friends blogging the "Project 365". It's where you take a picture each day of something that you did that day for 365 days in the year.
What happens to the pictures after? Why spend the time taking a picture and talking about it if you don't do anything with it after, if it has some meaning to it?
Well, so I decided instead of jumping on the bandwagon of just being Thankful for the days starting in November leading up to Thanksgiving then not thinking about being thankful again until next November when it comes back around.
I would start a different kind of "Project 365" or Thankful for the days/month kind of project. I would start one that makes you see the good/positive in EVERY day for a whole year!! That can be tough because not everyday does something good happen or not everyday do I feel thankful for something. This project forces me to think positively and find something good that happens so I can be reminded that God does work in my life, does want the best for me, and I did have something good that might come out of a "bad" day even when I don't want to see it or try and think of one. I think we should be Thankful all the time and not just for one month of the year or one day (devoted to a holiday).
So, Why Not?
My goal is to find something good/positive for 365 days... starting on Thanksgiving day, take a picture of the thing I'm thankful for (if I can get a picture) and/or write a note/verse/thought about why it was something to be thankful about.
At the end of the project, I will take one/ok maybe two pictures or the notes from each month from that whole year and put it in a scrapbook to then set out for the month of November; to remind myself and family that there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for throughout the year and not just in one month or for one day!!
