Yesterday's Gratitude Cloud

What is a Gratitude Cloud?

When it comes to writing gratitude statements, some people are authors and some people are editors. An author can sit down and come up with a gratitude statement from scratch. An editor often does better when they are given ideas to help foster thoughts for their gratitude entries. Our gratitude cloud helps editors write better gratitude statements by showing a few key words from gratitude entries made by other users.

Ready to start a gratitude journal entry? It is as easy! Just send a text message that begins with 'I am grateful for' to (717) 674-2779 in the U.S., or (778) 400-0444 in Canada! We save your entries in your personal gratitude journal. Once you get enough entries, you will even have your own, personal gratitude cloud to view.

Testimonials

1 I've ALWAYS wanted to keep a Gratitude Journal but did t know how to start. I enjoyed getting the prompts an reminders! You guys have a GREAT service here. Thank you!

2 I am grateful for the reminders that are provided by Take 2 Minutes. It helps with my focus.

3 In the mist of loneliness and depression your creative dream has helped me many more times than I can count to bring me back to a good place. I've been in therapy for years and you guys have done more for me and I have gained more from you than all those years.

4 I enjoy the text-based system that Take2Minutes uses. It's a more reliable reminder than if it were an app on my phone I had to remember to check in every day with or even if they gave me a notification. I feel like since it's a text, even if I wipe away the notification it's still there when I open my messages app. It's not like a regular app notification where I swipe it away and it's gone forever and I forget about it

5 I want to thank you for healing my life. A year ago, I was texting a suicide hotline because I couldn’t even speak of the fears inside. That is a past story now and with your kind words, you have allowed me to join in the beauty of the day instead of experiencing the fear.
