Its Simple really this site is a list of gratitudes that are all user generated by you and me! Content can be submitted and upvoted or downvoted by you the user and can be sorted accordingly. The purpose of this site is is provide the visitor with a way to give thanks for the things that are important in their life no matter has small, insignificant or even rediculous.
Its important to take time to positively reflect upon the good in our lives. The more you aknoowledge the good in your lives the better your outlook will be when you face the challenges of the day. This site allows for people to come together and share in a positive and meaningful way.
The inspiration for this site comes fromt a tedx talk done by Shawn archer which can be watched at this link Here or below. One of the key takeways from his talk and and his book are that it is important to make a habit of identifying the positive things, influences or people in your life, he promotes the action of writing 3 gratitudes everyday, 3 simple things that you are grateful for that day. No matter whats going on in your life its important to take the time to give thanks and if you can let others in and let them know you are thankful for it will have a cascading effect.
When you write down a list of “three good things” that happened that day, your brain will be forced to scan the last 24 hours for potential positive — things that brought small or large laughs, feelings of accomplishment at work, a strengthened connection with family, a glimmer of hope for the future. In just five minutes a day, this trains the brain to become more skilled at noticing and focusing on possibilities for personal and professional growth and seizing opportunities to act on them.
