Hopefully we can all learn to be a little more grateful for everything we have in our lives, including and especially the little things.
PS. The genesis of this project came from a discussion with my friend Jake Allred. Here is the relevant discussion here:
I was thinkig about what we were talking about yesterday, and I was thinking about some things regarding apostasy, and why they apostatize, and one of the main ones I came up with was a lack of gratitude.
and then I realized that whether one believes in God or not, a lack of gratitude is a the source of many ills in modern society.
so I decided to do my part and change myself by being more grateful.
and then it evolved from there.
