As well as inspiring me to take more photos, 365 has bizarrely also got me back in to knitting - some of the people I follow have posted photos of their knitting in recent months, and it reminded me of my enjoyment of knitting! There's something very meditative about it for me :o)
Gratitude - I discovered a local wool shop yesterday, and bought a ball of lovely, multi-coloured wool, which is now being transformed into a scarf, which I imagine will end up being someone's christmas present - starting early this year!! LOL
Gratitude II - I have to say that I'm quite thankful that today is the last day of June, and therefore the end of the gratitude challenge! In one way it's been good to be focussing on all the things in life that I'm grateful for - and yet at the same time it has felt a bit limiting, rather than having free reign to just take a photo as I've seen something, I've been exercised to link them to something I'm thankful for. I'm looking forward to getting back to just taking photos of everything and anything!!
terrific close up!! I'm doing a thankful challenge all YEAR and I agree with you that some days it feels very limiting but I'm also finding gratitude in even the small things each day! :)
@dulciknit I like the article - I've often described knitting as a form of meditation :o) .. the yarn is King Cole Chunky, btw
@phil_howcroft Thanks, Phil - I've also had a friend staying with me for the last week, so am even further behind at the moment! Still catching up with myself :o)
@dmrams I'm very glad to have done the month of gratitude - it's definitely upped my noticing and being thankful, and made me aware of how much time I spend being a complaining grump about things! lol
