Brooke, I’ve gotta say that I stumbled upon your blog today for no apparent reason! I liked your facebook page and I’ve checked out your pics everynow and again, but this is the first time that -just because- I came here and let me tell you, your messages and your way of saying things have genuinely touched me and made me contemplate! I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER AND AN ARTIST!! I AM GRATEFUL…..and as far as this week goes….I’m grateful for the time spent with my wife and dog, for the delicious pasta that I had with my wife at one of our favorite restaurants and for the clients that I have that allowed me to take my wife out and spend time with her and my dog!! Thanks again for the “kick” that I needed!

Such an inspiring thing to do! I’ve been feeling down a lot lately, but I can be grateful for so many things at the same time. This week I jumped in a waterfall too, it wasn’t quite as deep or as deathly cold as yours, but was equally exhilarating I’m sure! I also got to spend the whole day in the woods with my one true love, I should always and will always be grateful for that. Today I went out at the magical golden hour, and got caught in a sudden and unexpected rainstorm. However, I got to see the most beautiful double rainbow across the fields. It was worth getting soaked just to see that. Thank you Brooke for ever inspiring my world.

Let’s see…

1) I’m very grateful to my mom for going WAY out of her way to give me a ride to a place I absolutely HAD to go when I was far to sick to drive.

2) I’m very grateful that I have gotten to work with some of my personal heroes, and will be able to do more of that in the future!

3) I’m very grateful for an exciting business meeting I have on Friday which could usher in a lot of big, wonderful change for me, but even if it doesn’t, it will still be a lovely dinner with some people that I love 🙂

Well last week was a tricky one for me but I have lots to be grateful for. 🙂

1. I’m honored and grateful that my boss and top management at my work included me in important decision making last week.

2. I’m grateful for an amazing photo shoot Sunday. It was my first time working with the model who is related to a friend. She was amazing, the sand dunes and lake were amazing. It was exhausting and amazing all at the same time.

3. I’m grateful to have been able to celebrate my mom’s birthday and that my husband and I were able to treat at a nice restaurant.

Thanks for this reminder Brooke! Your posts always make me smile.

[…] the past few days (the bad stuff), I didn’t break down because I am SO grateful. She wrote an inspiring blog post on gratitude and it helped me feel better about a lot of things. I’ve been having a […]

In our family, we have a tradition that when we sit down for a family meal, we go around the table, and each person says one good thing that happened to them that day. Even if the day has been terrible, they can say, “Mom cooked dinner.” It makes us grateful for the little things!

1. So happy that school is out for the summer starting today! I love having my children home. If I didn’t have to teach them anything, I would definitely homeschool. 😀

2. I’m thankful for the gifts I’ve been given and the tenacity to make them better.

3. Grateful as always to my husband, who has always supported my work, even when he’s had to put his dreams on hold.

Thank you for your video, and for the reminder to be grateful.

The 3 BEST things that happened to me last week:

1. My partner and I found out that we are being sponsored to work and live in Australia (we’re both Canadian) which means that we don’t have to leave the life we’ve created here just to start over again back home. We are THRILLED! It’s a dream come true!

2. I got sick as well! I’ve been battling this a recurring flu thing, and last week I finally began to listen to what it was telling me. I was reminded to trust my body, that it loves me and is always communicating with me and teaching me.

3. I love to bake. I simply adore it. I am currently transitioning to veganism (something I am SO excited about!) and i’ve been concerned that I wouldn’t be able to “veganize” my favourite recipes (you know the ones that bring such comfort and joy in one’s life? I’m a bit of a madwoman about those.), and would have to say goodbye to them. But lo and behold I made the MOST delicious vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies, followed by totally vegan Coconut Blueberry Ice Cream! It’s amazing! Now I am SO excited to explore my new world of baking, knowing that the treats I make are not only ethical and wayyyy healthier, but damned delicious!

Lastly, I am grateful for you, and your authenticity. Thank you. 😀

I love to write list of all the things I love in my life. That is a great way of feeling happy! On that list I often write things like: ocean, clouds, dreams, my mother, my boyfriend, friends, nature, art and so on! But writing things every week that you´re grateful for are a great thing to do, because it makes you realize that you might have accomplished more in the past week than you thought. My three things are more social than I actually thought they would be:

1. A visit from a friend that I don´t see very often made me happy!
2. A great evening with some wine and friends and dogs.
3. I finally had some time to start decorate my new apartment!

Hi Brooke,
Sounds like you had an amazing time in France. The timing of your blog to my life right now is impeccable.
My Three Things Today:
1. Sleeping more than 7 hours straight last night, a rarity for me. It does wonders for your mood.
2. The encouragement of others to chase my 25 year old dream of becoming a photographic artist.
3. and now the long one.. I’m grateful for the life of one of my hockey teammates. Around October one of our teammates dropped to the floor of the locker room with no pulse and not breathing. Thanks to the quick actions of many of the team members, through CPR and a portable defib, we were able to bring him back until paramedics arrived to take over. Over the weekend the team was honored at a dinner and given a special award for our actions. At our game tonight, I have the privilege of giving the plaque to our rink. I am very grateful to be on a team that worked together so well and allowed our friend to still be with us.

I am also grateful for finding your blog. Keep on Promoting Passion. Thanks Michael
