Parent of Virtues | Week 10

This week was really rough and I did a terrible job recording the good things in my days.  They were there, I'm sure of it but I was too busy getting caught up in the minutiae and keeping my head above water.  I guess the fact that I managed to keep it all together is something to be grateful for:0).

Parent of Virtues - Week 9

This week has been a doozy and it ain't over yet.  I still managed to find some things to be grateful about for which I am mighty gratedful.  I was visiting Washington D.C. for work so there are a couple pictures from there.

Parent of Virtues - Week 8

Wow.  Two months into the year.  Still trying to be cognizant of at least one thing each day that I am thankful for or that at least makes me smile.   Some days are more random than others:0).

Parent of Virtues - Week 7

Week 7 of trying to notice the cool things the world throws my way each day. I missed another day but overall it was an all right work.

Parent of Virtues - Week 6

Week 6 of trying to notice the cool things the world throws my way each day. I didn't do a great job this week.  I missed two days completely for the first time.  Crazy work craziness and struggling a little bit to capture thinks in a photo.  I am still finding it a useful exercise.

Parent of Virtues - Week 5

Week 5 of trying to notice the cool things the world throws my way each day.  It was a snowy and somewhat frantic week.  A crazy schedule and workload at work is making this project a little challenging but probably more of a useful exercise.

Parent of Virtues - Week 4

Another week.  Things are getting very hectic and overwhelming at work. I find myself being less attentive to the world around me and the moments.  I have to resist posting/picking a photo of one of my sweet dogs every day because every day I am so grateful for their furry snuggles.  Despite all that, I was still able to find something each day that was good and worth recognizing.

Parent of Virtues | Week 3

The last couple of days have been a bit of a trial, so trying to find the positive things in each day was probably a good exercise.  Hope everyone else had a good week!

Parent of Virtues - Week 1

 

I'm going to give a 365 Grateful project a shot.  I'm posting my daily pictures on Tumblr and this is a round up of week 1.  Tuesday the 5th was really the only day that tested things but a co-worker and friend saved the day.  What were you thankful for this week?
