I added a few things to my 30 before 30 list that would not be too crazy or expensive.  This was one of them.  It’s something I see on Twitter all the time, but had never participated in.  I decided to rope in Annika, Katie & Justin as well.  Annika is the only one that actually finished with all 30 pictures.  The whole challenge was focused around gratitude.  Here was the list:

Here are some of my photos:
Smile
Leaves
Morning Skies
Favorite Color
Inspiring Person
Nature
Something Old
Hands
Written Words
Animal
Memories
Best Friend
Seasonal
Where I Sleep
Clothing
Gratitude
Transportation
Daily Routine
Nighttime
Light
Self Portrait

So that’s that.  It was a fun little challenge.  It’s fun to have these pictures on my phone to look at every once in a while.  I think we are planning to put the photos together and put them up somewhere. Helpful reminders to be grateful.  Here is Annika’s collage:

And to end today’s colorful post, the quote in my calendar today was from “The Buddha”:

Set your heart on doing good.  Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.  A fool is happy until his mischief turns against him.  And a good man may suffer until his goodness flowers.
