As I mentioned on my Village Voices post, I've had a rough week. It is nothing too major, but it still makes me sad to think about it too much. Needless to say - life ain't all roses all the time.
The power of gratitude is enough to lift me, though. I don't mean that to sound like I'm some OTT Anthony Robbins type (aka the modern cult leader). I guess sometimes I do - constantly banging on about the way gratitude can change your life . Hell, even I'm sick of the word 'grateful' a lot of the time.
But listen up. It works.
This week, I'm grateful for...
278. Beautiful images - we went into 'instagram' on Grateful today. Lovelies from all over have been snapping something they are grateful for today and tagging it with #52weeksofgrateful. Just looking at those pictures has really, truly lifted my spirits.
279. Chatter - Can older people really actually chatter? Surely that run-off-at-the-mouth, babbling, chatter-chat-chat that children do is what chatter is really all about. I love it (just not in the car!!!)
280. Reminders - some people are so good at the 'gentle reminder'. A reminder is so needed sometimes. I'm reminding myself to eat well this week. It's gotta be better than chastising myself for not!
Come join in the Instagram fun at Kidspot Village Voices this week.
And read my depressing woe-is-me post! Woot!
Do pictures lift you up too?

Amazing picture..I love it! You are very good at being grateful, I enjoyed all three this week and hopefully will also remember to remind my self gently to eat well myself this week...good idea.

Hope the week gets better, or next week at least.
:-)
You find the best images!!!!
So very sorry you've had a tough week...hope you are going to be well looked after this weekend by your own Saint:))
Pictures do pick me up, especially if it depicts how I'm feeling. Seeing a visual of either how I feel or what I truly need at that moment is a powerful mood-shifter. Good on you for finding the grateful during a sucky week, I'm hear'n ya. It's hard sometimes. Hope next week is kinda to you :)
I am grateful for you and your hubby helping me out this week. Even when life sucks for you, you are a top shelf sister and friend x
Hi Bron, I was just looking at your family shots on Tim Coulson's blog. You must be thrilled. They are truly divine and looks like he's captured your family's spirit perfectly. Just wanted to say so.
Hope next week is better Bron x

Thinking of you, Bron. Grateful for your lovely, lovely blog xxx
Love how you deal with and come out the other side Bron. Hoping next week is a better one for you. xx
Pictures absolutely uplift me, very visual & they can take you anywhere your imagination & thoughts want to go, love Posie
I'm a visual person and I can look at images for minutes & get emotional that's why I keep myself in check. And hurray to gentle reminders too. My husband does this as I tend to overload on sweets, a tad annoying but appreciated (later on).
Oh no, poor you. Hope next week is better. It has to be, spring is coming! Xx
That picture is beautiful. I love trawling through pictures. Sorry you've had a crapola week lovely. xsx
Pictures can life me up and tear me down in the same second, but I do so love them and prefer them to words sometimes.
Am loving the #52weeksofgrateful idea. I am going to get on board with that!
Love instagram. Always makes me smile. Have been using that hashtag! Hope your next week is an amazing one x
