News of documentary film 365 Grateful just arrived in my email box. They call it a documentary about living on the sunny side of life - and the impact that can have in your life. More in their own words...

365 Grateful - the Documentary is a film about uncovering what happens when ordinary people unlock the remarkable powers of gratitude - told by filmmakers Toni Powell and Hailey Bartholomew.

This documentary was born out of a project created by Hailey - the '365 Grateful Project'. In early 2008, in an effort to fight depression, Hailey started a year long photographic project which involved taking one Polaroid photo a day of something she felt grateful for. Initially this was a chore but eventually it became a delight. The discipline of having to look for the good things that happened every day changed her life in so many ways. Hailey found not only her marriage, spiritual life and health improved, but this project accidently, wondrously impacted the lives of others.
