Grace in Small Things

Waging a battle against embitterment since 2008

Support

A couple of dollars goes a long way to support Grace in Small Things. Thank you so much!

What is GiST?

What?
Schmutzie created Grace in Small Things as a daily reminder to take notice of the positive things we tend to overlook.

Why?
Grace in Small Things exists because we are choosing not to allow the noisiness of life to rob us of the time and energy to be mindful of ourselves and those we love and to recognize the grace that exists in small things.

Who?
Grace in Small Things is for YOU, because you deserve it.

When?
Grace in Small Things is a challenge for every day, because there's no time like the present, tomorrow never comes, and some other cliche about seizing the day. Oh, right: carpe diem.

Where?
Here!

How?
Grace in Small Things can be observed on your network weblog here, on your personal weblog elsewhere, in a notebook, or in smoke on the wind. The original challenge is to list five positive things every day, but we are a flexible lot, and since this is about finding joy, you should do it any which way that makes the most sense to you. There is a growing list of how-to articles to help get you started on the website.

Check out Schmutzie's inaugural call to arms: "Grace in Small Things: A Challenge for All of Us".
