Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #10

I’m grateful for God waking me up this morning with clarity, energy and a will to accomplish activities that are meaningful to me.

I’m grateful for the bright moon shining into my living room as I write this. I’m grateful that I can feel its energy and be in its presence.

I’m grateful that I’m in a safe country (extremely far from perfect) but safe. I’m grateful that I’m away from the city and everything that comes with that.

I’m grateful for a mind of my own. I’m grateful that I’m not tricked into hatred or dislike of people for their beliefs. I’m grateful that I only surround myself within like minded people that understand individuality.

I’m grateful that my annual charity is launching today. I’m very excited and nervous for this. I’m grateful that I get to do the work and help people in my community. I’m grateful that 100% of donations are used towards the cause.

It’s going to be a fun day everyone… Enjoy it!

Wow! For someone who is struggling with gratitude, you identified 10 reasons to be grateful! That’s super fantastic!!!

It sounds to me like you’re finally in a position to feel the mental fatigue you weren’t able to over these past many stressful days. Let it do it’s thing and you’ll feel right as rain soon! Be extra kind to yourself today.
