At the end of last year I saw this "Wall of Gratitude" at the nearby Carousel Shopping Centre, where people could leave a thank you message on the board next to it. Some of the messages were quite moving and I thought that it shouldn't have to take a pandemic for people to be kinder and grateful.
It said "This year has been a challenging one for many in our community but where there is hardship, there is always generosity, kindness and resilience.
Throughout November, we invited our community to give thanks and acknowledge the kindness of the people we're grateful for in 2020.
Take a moment to read their messages and think about how you can show your gratitude for those around you".
Well, I don´t know, Sami.
ReplyDelete"Corinna" made people here more friendly, caring, maybe we needed this to be reminded to be grateful?
Either way this wall is wonderful, good idea.
I think people became kinder, sharing and caring more, although some people never change of course. Thanks Iris
DeleteThat's nice and very feel good and that is a good thing, yet WA seems to have suffered the least over the years or so.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly were one of the least affected Australian states. Thanks Andrew
DeleteA nice gesture.
ReplyDeleteYes, very nice gesture Marianne :)
DeleteI think you will have to go back and photograph some of the messages, Sami, so that we can see what people are saying. It will be a nice change from mask shaming, hoarding, anti vaccine protests and other forms of idiocy.
ReplyDeleteCertainly very different David. Didn't think to take some photos of the messages, what a great idea!
Delete...a Wall of Gratitude, what a wonderful idea, we need more of these. Thanks Sami for sharing this great idea. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteWe should have lots of Walls of Gratitude to remind us to be kind every day. Thanks for hosting Tom
DeleteI also agree that it is a clever idea. SO different where you live, so I would also love to see what people were grateful for.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, it was a clever idea :)
DeleteA great idea!
ReplyDeleteYes, a great idea, thanks Pat :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea. I like it very much. There are always so many things and people to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week, Sami. ♥
Thanks Sandee, enjoy your week too.
DeleteThis is such a nice idea! I would love to see the messages up close.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, will return to take some photos, hope the wall of gratitude is still there.
DeleteGreat idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim.
DeleteLove the Wall of Gratitude. A lot more places could use one of these.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good idea for sure Bill.
DeleteOh this seems to be a great idea to do in towns and even in offices :) Lovely project, grateful for grateful people :)
ReplyDeleteA great idea to start in your office maybe Stevenson 😁.
DeleteLove that this has taken hold in public places - we could all use a healthy dose of gratitude!
ReplyDeleteWe certainly could Ju-Lyn.
DeleteA very good concept.
ReplyDeleteThanks William.
DeleteBem mais interessante que o Muro das Lamentações.
ReplyDeleteCertamente Pedro 😊
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat should be a weekly thing for people to fill out!
Hugs,
Mariette
It would be a good idea Mariette.
Delete🤗

DeleteYou're right Sami but sometimes it takes a crisis for some to realise how lucky they are 💜
ReplyDeleteTrue Grace. Xx
DeleteGreetings from Malaysia. Wall of Gratitude is great idea. If only people stop to spend some time to read the messages, they too will be moved. Sometimes we are too busy or burden with negative things to remember to be grateful.
ReplyDeleteVery true Nancy. Thanks for your lovely message
DeleteA very good idea.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
