2015: The year of the 365 Grateful project. #365Grateful
01 Jan 2016
For the past 365 days, I have been finding at least one thing each day that I am grateful for, and posting about it on Instagram. In some cases, there have been more than one thing. There have been times where I have not had a great day, but I found that one thing that I was grateful for, and it made me feel better about that day. Yesterday was the last day of my #365Grateful project.
When I first set out to do the 365 grateful project, I knew this was just for one year. It has been a great year, with so many wonderful memories.
I will still continue to post each day. Instagram will continue to be my microblog. My family and friends will still be highlights of my day. I will continue to find the positive in everything, and all that I am grateful for in my life.
I continued on my #NewBDK health journey.

Wishing you all much love, laughter, happiness, safety, success, good health, and prosperity in 2016.
From our family to yours, Happy New Year!

It seems that you have many things to be grateful for. I think this is a great way to reflect on what makes us happy as an individual as well as being able to look back at the things that we’re grateful for in our lives. Great post!
