They say that a life of thankfulness is a happy one. That gratitude leads to gladitude which fills up every aspect of your life. I often struggle to be happy with where I am at today because I spend so much time hoping, wishing, and dreaming about where I really want to be. I want to change that and The Gladitude Project is born.
I thought about getting a nice notebook to write in. This was a little tempting because I do like to write things down. I figured a nice one, that I actually spent more than 17 cents on (we always buy tons of notebooks during school shopping time so get them really cheap) would make it so I was more likely to actually use it. I thought about spending money on a gratitude journal that is put together by a guru who writes about happiness or thankfulness or something similar, but the truth is that these seemed over priced and not very well related. Many contain quotes and feel good paragraphs to read before you write out what you are thankful for. Most have small spaces to write and that seemed like it would be a pain.
In the end, I choose to put it out there on the net because it's somewhere I spend a lot of time with and I think that blogs are awesome. I am not sure how many people want to read about my boring life or who want to stop in and check out what I hope if a transformation from a pessimistic woman who tends to make herself miserable because she isn't where she wants to be into a happy, can't stop smiling, happy woman who spends enough time being thankful for what she has today that all of life is good. I want my thankfulness to spread into a gladness that fills every dark corner of my life. :-P
