Gratitude is near and dear to my heart. Not to say that I have perfected this attitude. But rather it is a virtue I continue to strive to utilize more intentionally. World Gratitude Day, which is today, is a beautiful focus to renew one's mind about the subject.

One of my fav dudes to quote is G.K. Chesterton. This quote inspired the Lightbox sentiment:

"When it comes to life,
the critical thing is
whether you take things for granted,
or take them with gratitude."

The English philosopher provides food for thought. It requires intentionality to be thankful. To be grateful. To find gratitude daily. Everyday. In the relentless as well as the easy days.

Sayin' it in lights today helps me to re-focus this attitude.

New Lightbox accessories have made their debut. I used a new font plus Inserts and Letter Stickers to add glam to my gratitude day slogan.

The Inserts are clear slides and the Letter Stickers fit on them perfectly to create a customized word.

Stick a letter to the slide, and slide the letter on the Lightbox. It's really super easy and a genius idea.

So here is to a beautiful day. World Gratitude Day. Take a moment. Be mindful of that which can be full of gratitude. And enjoy your day. Oh...and happy first day of fall.
