Daily Gratitude List

Rosa, I love this. Thank you so much! I don’t usually have much time to read AND post on TS, and when it comes to this thread I feel like I need to write a novel --there’s just so much I feel grateful for (and it doesn’t help that I always read everyone’s posts, so it all takes up more time :slightly_smiling_face:). Going for a deeper, more detailed take on the one thing seems like it would work just right for me.

Oh, good! I’m glad. Just for the record for everybody, any gratitude practice at all is a great step and proven to be beneficial to a person’s well being.

Today I’m grateful to @RosaCanDo for the nice article shared, which made me think about this gratitude business a bit more. And made me decide to write about my gratitude for being able to go to group therapy today, for getting and giving myself the opportunity to work on myself and work together with the other folk in the group, and with the therapists, in making myself better, healthier, happier, more of a full human being, able to feel my feels, able to share my feelings and emotions, able to interact with others in a meaningful positive constructive way.
And not avoid others, avoid my feelings and emotions, hide myself from the world and from myself, hide in stupid substance abuse. Grateful I choose to try and live a better live. And always very grateful to all of you, sharing part of my road and giving me the honour and privilege to share some of yours with me. Very grateful indeed. Love.

Hello all, and thank you @RosaCanDo for the article!
Today I am grateful that my kids cleaned up the kitchen before I got home from work. This small act takes a little off my plate and allows me to have a bit more time to relax.
I’m grateful that I have good coworkers because my job can be physically hard, and stressful. Having coworkers that you can joke with but still get shit done with is a major bonus.
I’m grateful that my Mother in Law will bring home soup for dinner tonite so I don’t have to think about something to make.
Everyone have a restful evening❤️

Friday great gratefulls -

  • To my TS amigos who showed me support yesterday in a weird situation. I’m grateful they checked in to reinforce me, validate me and make sure I was okay.
  • For how I’ve turned things around this week. I feel really solid about the direction my path is heading, with a look to tomorrow and beyond. Focused on today.
  • That I have the ability to take time for myself, sit in a quiet space and reflect. I realize I am fortunate to have the chance to do that almost whenever I want.

Grateful for my TS amigos. :heartpulse::green_heart::heartpulse:
