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 LOVE Take 2 Minutes. I have noticed a huge difference in my outlook. I find myself looking at the positive in things. My patience and tolerance levels are better. Even my husband has noticed. It states to wait 15 days to start 3 goods things again but I want to keep doing it every day because I'm afraid I will lose my outlook.

2 I'm happy to have found you guys! Thank you for the Help...its much needed.

3 I love seeing your messages come through each day. They often hit something I needed. I shared a message the other day with my teenage nephew. It was very timely for him.

4 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.

5 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
