Few years ago, I was really struggling life.

幾年前，我日子過得很苦

I felt like I had everything I needed

我可能有所有的一切

but I just wasn’t happy.

但我過得不快樂

I felt that life was a treadmill.

這讓我覺得人生很煩

I felt lost.

迷失了自己

I didn’t really like enjoy being it.

我不想讓自己變成這樣

And then, I went in sorrow night.

於是我感到很悲傷

Until I had some friend who has a full advice with me.

直到我遇到一些給我很多忠告的朋友

She said, Hailey, the secret to happiness is reflection and gratitude.

她說，Hailey，開心的秘訣是抒發自己和抱著感激的心

She said take time every day and think through your day.

她說”每天花點時間去想想一天發生的事”

Seize with anything that you can be genuinely grateful for.

把握每一件事，這樣你就能活得精采

So I did 10 days. I did this little project; write down thing.

所以我做了這個小計畫10天，把事情都寫下來

And very quickly, I realized that there was an amazing thing I wouldn’t miss if I hadn’t been doing this.

非常快的，我了解到如果我沒做這件事的話，我就會錯過這驚人的事

Being a photographer, I decided to do a photographic project called “365 grateful”

作為一位攝影師，我決定做一個攝影的計劃叫“365 grateful”

and take a photo a day at something I was grateful for.

我每天都把一些我感謝的事拍下來

Every single day per year

每天都拍

And it changed my life in a way that I could never have expected.

我從來沒有想過這會改變我的生活

The first thing I notice was my husband.

我注意到的第一件事就是我老公

He’s a beautiful man and a great husband.

他是一位完美的人以及好老公

But he was just never very romantic

但是他不浪漫

and I had kind of labelled him as that.

而我也把他歸類為那種人

But then doing this project, I started to see things I otherwise would miss.

但當計劃進行時，我開始發現到一些我之前錯過的東西

And there were some beautiful moments in things he was doing that I,

一些他為我做的事

in the busyness of everyday, wouldn’t have even seen if I hadn’t been doing this 365 grateful project.

要不是透過這個計劃，我就不會看到在忙碌的一天中被我忽略的美麗時刻

I took a photo one day of a piece of pie that he gave me.

有一天我拍下他給我一塊派

We were sitting down for dinner and there were two pieces of pie left on the tray.

我們坐下吃晚餐，然後盤子裡有兩塊派

The first one was a little bit scanty and sliding a little.

第一個有點少，還有一點滑落

And the other one had a great big crust with a corner piece and it was delicious and big!

另一個是麵包皮，很美味也很大

And he without even thinking put the biggest and the best piece of pie on my plate.

他想都沒想就把最大的那個給我

And I was just astounded. I realized that every day,

我感到非常訝異 我才發現每一天

he was choosing me and thinking me that made me see him for the first time.

他選擇了我，第一時間把最好的都給我

And I was so grateful; at the end of this project, he actually said to me, “I feel like I’m enough for you now”.

我很感激，在這個計畫的最後，他告訴我”我現在有你就夠了"

And that was just incredibly beautiful for me.

這對我來說真的是不可思議

Another thing I noticed was how connected I felt with nature.

另一件我注意到的事是我和大自然的連結

I felt like there were beautiful beetles landing on my shirt,

有一些很美的甲蟲停在我的衣服上，

and I see them and I think, “Wow! I’m honored you’re here!”

然後我看著他們，想著"哇!我很感激你在這!”

These little beautiful bits of nature that I otherwise would have been rushing pass, “Ahh, you’re cute”…

大自然中的小小美麗，我卻常常錯過，”噢，你好可愛”…

But doing this project pulled me right into the moment and seeing what was really good about my life.

但是這個計畫讓我了解到我的生活有多美好

And the beautiful things around me that every day were on display for me to see.

許多美好的事圍繞在我身旁

I felt like, “Wow! I should watch from where I’m stepping. I should honor the earth that I am on and be grateful to be here….

我感覺像，"哇!我應該要看看我腳下踩的地方。還有為我生活的地球感到榮譽和感激

I’m so lucky to be alive and see this display every day.”

我真的很幸運能夠活著，每天都能看到這些

And that made me also connected to the universe,

這也讓我和宇宙結合

in God or something bigger or more powerful than me.

比我強大的神或是別的東西

Not only did this 365 grateful project helped me.

不只有365 grateful這個計畫幫助我

It spread through Flickr, Facebook, and magazines and blogs.

我從flickr.臉書.雜誌還有部落格散播出去

People are starting to do their own grateful projects.

大家開始去做他們自己的感激計劃

And then their friends are doing their own grateful projects.

他們的朋友也開始去做自己的感激計劃

Very quickly, I started to get some amazing e-mails from people sharing their stories with their projects

很快地，我開始收到一些和我分享他們故事的信

and how it affected their lives.
