Got Gratitude?  Want to share it with others?

Welcome to the new Friday Photo—a community gratitude journal open to all who’d like to express their thanks or share a happy thought.  We’re calling them “Happiness Shout Outs” for now, but we are open to other ideas!  Submit your suggestions in the comments, please.

Here’s how it works: every week we’ll post a photo submitted by one of our readers along with all the happy and thankful comments gathered throughout the week.

You can also contribute by commenting here—we’ll pick out a few favorites for next week’s posting.  Please include: your name if you’d like us to use it and any other info you’d like us to list, e.g., if the “gratitude” is from one of your children, it would be great to know his or her age.

Here are some sample submissions collected by one of our Greater Good volunteers:
