Take Our Gratitude Photo Challenge
Start your day intentionally with "an attitude of gratitude"! Stop to pause and appreciate all the things you are grateful for in your life. See below for the challenge or click HERE for a printable image.
Have fun reflecting on all you are grateful for and taking photos on this beautiful day! Other ways to foster an attitude of gratitude include starting a personal or family gratitude journal, jar, or paper chain to keep track of all the things for which you are thankful!
Have fun and don't forget to share your pictures with us by emailing [email protected] or
