Default Are you ready for 30 days of Thanks?

With November just around the corner, and coming to the end of a hard personal year, I have been giving all the things that I have to be grateful for a lot of thought. I love the 30 Days of Thanks project so much because of the positive message behind it. I know Holly did an awesome challenge last year that was great and so inspiring, but I know that I am not going to have time to scrap right now.

I still want to do something that I can fit into my crazy days, (who exactly is eating so much yogurt, you guys, that we can't keep our customers supplied) but know it has to be something quick that I can fit it to what I am already doing.

That got me to thinking about where I spend my moments when I have them and the answer is here!

So how do you all feel about a 30 days of thanks post, which would mean a post each day for all of us to respond to with something we are thankful for that day? If you are doing the actual 30 Days of Thanks challenge and scrapping, you could show off your layouts here too. I would love to see all those.

Anyone could start it and anyone could post to it, but it would be a fast way to say, hey, this is something I appreciate, that brings me joy and that I want to share with those in my circle, to not only give thanks, but to uplift them all with a bit of good news/thoughts?

I hope this is something that sounds appealing to you all, because I need to put some energy into thinking about some good things and I love hearing positive things from my circle, ie. you guys.

I am hoping it might get us all going into the Christmas season on a wave of positivity and light. Anyone interested in doing this with me?

I have never done it, I will be willing to try it. I really need to put in perspective the amazing things I have in my life!

I love 30 days of thanks projects but like you- I don't know if I will have a lot of extra time this year (feels like we went from 0-100mph in a day with kids' activities this fall!) I love the idea of a post a day- easy & scrappable if someone wishes!

I like the idea of a 30 days of thanks daily thread. I probably won't be scrapping everyday but even just saying/writing what we are thankful for is a great way to stay positive.

I always try to do 30 days of thanks/gratitude and I feel like I always fail miserably LOL. Life likes to throw me curveballs way too often.

At the very least I am 100% on board for a thread and saying something I'm grateful/thankful for everyday.

I've done 1 complete 30 days of thanks project of scrapbook pages. I always have good intentions when people start the posts but as life and the month go on, I tend to forget to answer them.

But I'm always up for a good challenge, so I'm in to try again!

Sounds like a fun idea...but I definitely cannot do a page a day, right now I'm struggling with a page a week

Sounds great. I won't be scrapping it, but I can always use a thankful perspective in life

Sounds fun. I tried last year and failed greatly due to traveling in November to Disney...A post is easy and a great way to center our focus

I haven't scrapped mine but I post on Facebook every year. I've done it for a long time now but this year I'm not sure I'm up to it. I'm not feeling so thankful.

I am sorry, Sherri. I am not sure I can be of any help, but if you need an ear or a shoulder, I have two of each.

I would never be able to scrap 30 days of thankful, even in a one page layout, but I could definitely post something every day. With all the health stuff I've been going through, I need to be reminded to be grateful. Mostly, I just feel like everything is awful, even though I know it's not.
