Thankful

A few years ago I gave myself a 'Thankful' challenge via Instagram. 
I've written about it before.

It was life changing, and affirming and really helped me see the silver lining in everything.  I think that when I finished I had a more optimistic approach to life.  I tend to lean that way already... but the challenge made me accountable and an active participant in life's daily miracles.

Lately I have been hovering in a less than feel-good place.  It's not that I have really changed, but I am less inclined to reach for the joy.  I have been settling for less enthusiasm.  I have been okay with it.

Suddenly I'm not.  I want to savor the sweetness of my days like I did when I was working my way through the challenge. 

It's not as if the process offered exceptional opportunities for experience.  It's just that I paid attention.  To everything.  I was able to call into question where I set my intention. 
I would really examine the moments that made up that 24 hours and I would choose what moved me, or was inspiring.  And mostly the simple occurrences seasoned my picture feed.   But always at the end of the day I felt like I knew myself a little better. 

I want to get back to that place.  So, I am starting it up again.  Randomly, but thoughtfully.  Because it is something that I need.  And I am learning to listen to the things my heart, body and soul are telling me. 

I am going to try to extend upon that idea this time around.   I will still use Instagram and a daily photo as my main platform.   This time around though, I want to go deeper by bringing that photo here... with more.
