hey! Creator of gratefulness here!

haha sorry about the glitch. not sure what's going on.

But as to what this whole gratitude thing is: I initially put this together for my little cousin who's been having a really rough go of it over the past few years. We'd been talking about how to stay mindful of the things we're grateful for. I offered up the idea of a gratitude journal but that didn't stick.

So I told him I'd put together a quick app that would text him every morning. He could respond to the text and I'd store it (privately!) for him. At the end of the week, I'd email him a recap of that weeks gratitude comments.

That worked much better for him! I sent it out to family and friends and over the past 5 weeks or so, we've been getting some positive responses.

In short, it's just a simple gratitude journal to help stay grateful!
