2011 Gratitude Challenge

Last year I started a Gratitude Challenge for the month of November.  I felt that I needed to stop and take time to be filled with gratitude for the things the Lord has blessed me with in my life.  It was an amazing experience to come here each day and blog about my blessings.

I am going to do this again this year and once again invite you to participate  with me.  I will have a linky service each day where you can link to my post and share your own post about what you are thankful for this year.    For those who are new to this idea, here are the very loose guidelines and thoughts behind it:

I just wanted to invite you to participate in a Gratitude Challenge for the month of November.  When we express Thanks to our Creator for that which He has given to us, we are happier and we are open to receiving even more blessings.

So here is the challenge:

For each day during the month of November, post about something you are thankful for.  It can be anything at all.  Just as long as you write a post that is filled with Gratitude and a Thankful heart.  Post everyday.  That means 30 posts.  It can be something big or small.  You can post a picture or not.  It can be a wordless post.  Just share something you are grateful for in your life.

I thought I would mention it now so that anyone who wants to participate can.  I’ll even make a badge that you can use to show you are participating.   I’ll have a linky tool each day where you can link your own Gratitude Post for that day.  Let’s count our Blessings and share all of the wonderful things we are each blessed with in our lives.  Maybe if we concentrate on all of the good things, the crazy things that are going on in this world won’t seem so overwhelming and discouraging.  How about it–Are you with me?

This year, I am inviting you to just post as often as you can.  I know some people felt badly when they didn’t post everyday.  Not a big deal.  Just participate as you can.  I will be here every single day.  If you can make it all 30 days, then WONDERFUL!  Just don’t let a miss keep you from participating.

I have a new button for you all prepared.  You can grab it from the sidebar.

See you next Tuesday!
