Keeping a gratitude journal is not a new concept for me. I first became interested in it after a scrapbooking workshop where the leader suggested creating a family album where family members could add pages about things for which they were thankful. Then I read about journaling every day about at least five things for which you’re grateful. And these days, if someone’s talking about journaling something, the next step is talking about blogging it.
So I actually tried keeping a private blog to experiment with daily gratitude blogging. It was a dismal failure! I think I kept it up for five days before the notion just fizzled. I’ve always thought about trying to kindle the project, particularly as I’ve been feeling like I need an attitude adjustment so I can rediscover the optimist in me.
So this week the topic of gratitude blogging came up on the SCN LifeWriter’s list (a mailing list for members of Story Circle Network). I suggested a group experiment: we can all blog about gratitude, but tag our posts consistently so we can all follow each other’s progress. I’m interested to see how it works out!
