So this week on it's 2 year anniversary I am Grateful for the 52 Weeks of Grateful. A special place that helps me to take stock of what's happening and actually take the time to remember to be grateful for what I have and what's happening in my world. That amongst all the parental angst and ups and downs that there is always a little light, something to be very grateful for, no matter how big or small.
I am not fabulous at writing a post to link up each week, sometimes life just gets in the way, but knowing it's there each week I still stop and think about what I'm grateful for and what I might write about if I could get it all together.
I am grateful for having this space to see what others are grateful for and what lights up their world each week, because without a doubt each and every post that I read in the link up brings a smile to my face.
I am a big believer that big changes begin with a small first step, so for me 52 Weeks of Grateful is one of those small first steps towards making more and more people grateful for what they have rather than feeling that they are continually wanting, or continually ungrateful for the wonderful things in their life that so many others would love even a tenth of. If we can all try to be a little bit grateful each week then that can spread, and spread, and spread, and I just love this concept. I am an optimist like that, I think it's ingrained into me.
Thank You Bron for the magic that is 52 Weeks of Grateful, it is a wonderful link up, that brings a smile to my face each week and I am very grateful for it, especially on those crappy days or weeks, because it can turn them around.

Nice one, Nat. You're right - being grateful can sometimes turn a really crappy week around. I know it has for me. It's such a simple thing to do - reflect on what we have that makes us happy.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you today. x
You don't have to write it down do you. but this grateful link up certainly helps you to stop and think about things.
ReplyDeleteSo grateful for this space to Nat, when I take stock I realise how much I really do have to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly. Nothing shifts our perspective than being grateful.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile Nat! I agree! And I'm an optimist too x
ReplyDeleteOh so true Nat! I think the act of thinking about what your grateful for...writing it down...sharing it...really solidifies it somehow and if possible makes you even more grateful for it. It can be a real attitude changer....xx
ReplyDeleteWell said, I agree totally, and you have me smile :)
ReplyDeletetotally agree! Just a little more gratitude could make the world of difference and certainly put lots more smiles on peoples face! x
ReplyDeleteIt's the little things that make life so enjoyable - nice to be reminded to stop and 'smell the roses', isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt definately does make a crappy week so much better. The grateful linky is such a lovely reminder to stop and take stock of what IS going well. And you are so right about small steps. I think I need to take some.
ReplyDeletehere here! x
ReplyDeleteI've been religious with my gratefuls lately. Even if it's just a couple of sentences and a photo, it already makes you feel good!
