A very good friend of mine "Angel Julie" sent me an email a couple of days ago that has completely inspired me. She had read an article in which a lady described her "Blissings!" - no the spelling is not wrong! These are her moments of bliss and her blessings combined - see the quote below:
"As part of a personal project to improve my 'attitude of gratitude' I took a photo every day for a year of something I was thankful for. At the end of the year I compiled the collection into a photo book for my children. I'm now into my second year - it had become addictive"
WOW! For everyone who knows me, this is totally up my alleyway. I love my photography, love my memory albums and for years I have worked on an inner project of finding something to be grateful for each and everyday.
So for 2009, I am starting an "Attitude of Gratitude" album. I am ordering a very simple slip-in type album from Creative Memories, called a Picfolio expandable album that holds 5 photos per page, or 4 photos and a journalling box and each day I am going to write my gratitude journal on the pretty journalling box, take a photo of something that I am grateful for; something that makes me laugh or smile or something that brings me joy.
At the end of next year, I will own an "Attitude of Gratitude Album" a keepsake of 365 wonderful moments in my life, that will reflect the joy of being alive, all my blessings and allow me to let go the difficult/problem/worries of the world. Help me to share the 'blissings' that we all have.
I would like to challenge all the readers of my Blog to share in this wonderful idea! Imagine what a world we can create if everyone let go the negatives, let go hate and brought into the world, peace and harmony. Start with your own family, share the message with friends and strangers and as you take your daily photos, share your gratitude for the wonderful life you have and live.
Remember today is also "Pay it forward Tuesday" - share the joy today. Send a friend or stranger a card or an email message, telling them how much you appreciate them. Tell them to "Pay it forward", so we can share the Joy of living.

Sharing and receiving Joy
Simply Angels...Pay it forward!
My lovely friend Michelle has started an amazing idea that we are going to spread joy to the world. She has been doing this for a few years now first with her newsletter JoyExpress and then her website JoyExpress. Both of which uplift the soul and inspire all of us who read it.
Now we are starting a new idea.
Simply Angels … Pay it Forward
Each Tuesday, I am going to send a card to someone. Inside that card will be a positive and uplifting message. My Intention is that the person receiving the card will Feel So Good that they will want to SHARE the JOY and, in turn, send a card to someone. And, that person will Feel So Good that they will want to SHARE the JOY and, in turn, send a card. And so on.
Have you ever opened your postbox and there is something special and uplifting, it lights up the whole world just for those few moments? To know that there is someone out there that is thinking of you and wants you to feel special.
Today is November 11th, when we take one minute in our busy lives to remember all those who have lost theirs to give us our freedom. Today instead of only remembering those that have been lost, focus on the true spirit of remembrance and change the world, with thoughts of love and peace to all. Spread the joy, not the hate!
We can change the world, one step, one thought, one word and one deed at a time. Tuesdays are special because Angels all over the world will be sending out Joy.
If you would like to join our Simply Angels - Pay it forward, just send me an email; put your name in my "Pay it forward jar" or start your own wonderful special card day.
I hope today you experience the Joy of Angels and Joyful thoughts.
