Day 7. 365grateful - Hartson the cat

Every single day I am grateful for my cat. This is Hartson. He is eight and he has lived with me since he was a kitten. He's not a cuddly cat but he's very expressive and he makes me laugh. He will always be in the room where we are. His fur is one of my favourite smells. My life has been all the better for having him in it - the best cat in the world.

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul. Jean Cocteau

The 365 Grateful Project
In early 2008, in an effort to fight depression, Hailey Bartholomew started a year long photographic project which involved taking one Polaroid photo a day of something she felt grateful for.
I thought that this was such a fab idea I would do it as well. I have been blipping on and off recently but I lost my enthusiasm for it when I felt that every day was the same, always going to the same place. However, I think that documenting something I am grateful for each day gives it a different slant.
