Gratitude

Each Monday, I discuss my Scrap Happy project based on Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun.

A second aspect of contemplating the heavens is keeping a gratitude notebook (first aspect: Childhood Dreams). I’m not sure I want to keep a daily gratitude notebook. I have enough daily commitments. But as a scrapbooker, I could strive to create layouts based on gratitude. Sometimes I feel like part of the reason I am scrapbooking is to show gratitude…thankfulness for my daughter, my husband, my family, and so on. What do you think? Do you communicate gratitude through your scrapbooks?

What role does gratitude play in your scrapbooking? Do you keep a gratitude notebook along with scrapbooks? Comment below or join the conversation on facebook or twitter.
