The Photo Challenge

Via Facebook, a few friends and I are doing the Project 365 challenge. We are attempting to take a photo a day of a moment that made us smile. I am finding it super easy to do and more often than not, I have trouble deciding which happy moment to record as a happy snap.

It's a nice problem to have.

Something else the challenge is doing is making me more aware during the day of the things that are a blessing. My goodness.....there's heaps. From kitchen appliances that make life simpler to simple daily routines with a 9.9 month old to beautiful things I can see every day to moments that I will never have again.

Prior to Project 365 starting on June 1, I was finding the days going by oh-so-quickly and great moments being lost in the jumble and then quickly forgotten. But the simple act of snapping one photo a day is reminding me to slow down......concentrate....enjoy and be ever so thankful.

Perhaps it's something you'd like to consider and take up the challenge of...whether you publish the pics or not.


Afterall, learning to see and reminding yourself to be grateful is a life-long project we should all be undertaking.

Some of the photos I have snapped are shown below....I hope some of them may make you smile too.

My brilliant blogging friend B has done a similar thing for the month of June and her photos not only inspire...they tell a great story. Perhaps you'd like to visit her at: bbeingcool ?
