And we are flying through the week

I am so grateful for where I am currently. My mood is good. Work has been going well. The regular overtime due to my coworker quitting is a blessing. I have made a few new friends? Possibly found a 💨 🍃 buddy. Clued me in to a better/cheaper dispensary. I have a busy but fun weekend coming up. And making plans for some travel?

2024 is ending so much better than it has gone. And I am very grateful. Very content.

This year has shown me what I’m made of! Going through college as an Engineer isn’t easy, but I’m doing it. It’s amazing what humans are capable of. I never thought I would be passing Calculus 2 my first attempt. (Known for being the hardest Calculus). We are capable of so much more than we realize. I’m truly grateful to be learning.

Today I am grateful for my health and being able to wake up to see a new day. I am grateful to having the energy to go on my daily morning walks. I am grateful for my mental health as it is something I used to struggle with significantly in the past. I am grateful for my home, my loving partner, the food I’m able to eat and God who is always near. Wishing everyone a blessed day ❤️

Grateful for those who are helpful and don't expect anything in return, I am also grateful for people who take care of others.

And for those who are there and the ones who are not there.

Grateful for the moment

Today amongst other things, I’m grateful for finding my late cousins machines that I’ve been searching for, for months. I’m thankful for the upcoming holiday and a trip to visit friends. Also, I’m grateful that the children are actually enjoying school. And that my partner and I continue to make a fantastic team and grow together. One last thing, in grateful for being able to spread the music my cousins have made to fans of theirs via social media, in their honor.

He stopped by my house and told me how he almost got t-boned at an intersection right before getting here. I’m just so happy and grateful and relieved he’s safe and alive.

When things get chaotic in my mind I search for ways to have hope. I've noticed that I do this a lot, and in many different situations. Today while I was grocery shopping with my hubby my low back/left hip was catching when I'd make the smallest movements. I've been feeling this off and on for a while now and have tried many things to figure out what triggers it and what helps relieve the intense feeling (Im trying to not call it "pain" because I feel like that just gives it more power over my mood in the moment) and I was excited to figure out a few new things that I can try. Things that I can try by myself. I'm grateful that I found hope once again and am excited to try and find the cause of this again tomorrow.

I am behind on my truck payments and today I received a phone call from Toyota saying that my account is past due and when I advised them that I didn't have the money to pay the full amount due they offered to defer 2 of the payments to the end of the loan which means I am no longer behind on my payments and will not owe a payment until next month.

i am just so grateful to the few people in my life that check on me, understand grief, dont judge me and make me laugh. Getting out of the house is hard but life is too short to stay in

I will do anything for my friends now. anytime , any place

This feels so much safer than a relationship

1. Grateful for the amazing nurses I had today who were kind, competent and very patient with my anxiety

2. Grateful to come home from the hospital to a warm and comfortable house

3. Grateful for my husband for making me a delicious dinner

I donate once a month, usually platelets and plasma. Today, the donor center was FULL! People waited patiently in line to give blood, platelets, plasma.

My dad and stepdad have both required platelets and blood during their hospital stays. It was heart-warming to see how freely people will give to strangers!

Grateful for:

The routine of returning to home base in meditation.  My meditation is devotional and full of surrender.

I use all the ways I can think of to stay tuned into the God station. Like visualizing God handing me the keys to the kingdom, or getting a big hug at the top of the spiral staircase.  Like affirmations that help me realize I am a child of God created in his image. Like prayers that ask that I be free of some habit. Or that I be used as a fit instrument for his purpose.

Sometimes I just sit silently and quietly to feel his presence.

Occasionally, my meditation will give me the blooms all over. When I'm done, I feel calmer and more focused. My thinking is clearer.  My piano playing is better. I'm a much better husband and friend. My thoughts are positive. I'm happier. And why wouldn't I feel this way? I just spent 20 minutes in the presence of Love.

For happy pills, the view out my window, sleep, hope.

I’m so excited to make it this far on my 100 Day journey, which will undoubtedly continue after that. I’m really grateful for today. I’m experiencing a big shift in my home, for the better. I love my life! ✨🥰

today i am grateful for my daughter who checked in on me this morning, also, my morning cup of cofvee... 2 things i cant live without

I am also grateful for this forum to express my feelings.

It's easy for me to get upset or frustrated with how some of our mondern day inventions don't seem to be making our lives better. However, I'm so grateful to be alive in this moment in history. We have so many things to make our lives easier and we have hot running water and electricity. It's such a great time to be alive and I'm very grateful for it.

Today I'm grateful for my co workers. They really helped me out when I was in a tight place and I have much respect for them looking out for me.

What Are You Grateful For Today?

What Are You Grateful For Today? So with Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas right in front of us, it makes us think of what we have and what we are grateful for. If you follow me you know I am not a believer in "days" to do certain things.

Why can't we be grateful every day? Why is there one specific day that we must do it on? It is way too much pressure to be perfect, to come together, and for many to pretend we like each other. Come on let's be real here, with the holidays, we will be getting thrown together with family we may not care for. We all have that one relative that just gets under your skin. That has asked you for years why you're still single or why you haven't lost weight while you're trying to swallow your turkey and keep that fake smile on your face while you're doing it. Or that one cousin who always is bragging about what they have, always trying to make you feel like a loser. Yes, one day a year puts too much pressure on people to have to pretend that they are grateful.

I am grateful each and every day, but it hasn't always been this way. I had to teach myself this. I had to actually dig and find things to be grateful for as I was in such a miserable place in my life. I remember when Oprah started her gratitude journal, and she wanted all her viewers to do this as well. I thought I'd try but there was nothing besides my girls that I was grateful for. Yes, it was that bad, so I started with the basics that most of us already have. I was grateful that I woke up. I was grateful for a home. I was grateful for having food. I was grateful for a car. I was grateful for my and my girl's health. I was grateful I could walk. I was grateful I could see.

Look, I was really reaching here because there wasn't much else I was grateful for. But each week I added something, being grateful for a walk on the ocean. Seeing birds in the sky, a warm cup of coffee on a chilly day, and before I knew it, I started being grateful for everything. Every morning on the way to work I give thanks for the life I have now. I cry because I am so grateful.

Being grateful opens you up to other blessings and it's not just me saying this. "In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships" says Harvard Health.

Even scientists know this is a real thing, having gratitude changes your life. So then why do we only have one day to be grateful? A day that is so stressful for so many to have everything perfect, to come together with relatives you don't like, with people that drink too much or never shut up, and now you want us to be grateful? It seems so phony to me. I don't care about Thanksgiving, in fact when the girls were young and I was divorced I did Thanksgiving on Friday so they could spend the actual day with their dad and didn't have to feel like they had to pick or be without the other parent.

Did it matter that it wasn't on Thanksgiving for me? No, I am grateful for having dinner with my girls and my friends every single time we sat at my table. And so what if it wasn't on Thanksgiving what did that mean? That I wasn't as grateful? No, because having to do something and wanting to do something are two very different things. I chose to be thankful, not just on Thanksgiving or during the holidays when they tell us to, but every day. Sometimes every moment because I know how precious life truly is these last few years.

So today my friends remember we don't need a day to remind us to be grateful. We need a life to do that, a life that we are grateful for at all times, a life that we take nothing for granted, and no matter what happens we can always find something to be grateful for.

"Be the change you want to see"

I have a wellness and goals app called Finch. I love it! It helps me keep my daily goals and I take care of and grow with a lil birb. Her name is Strawberry. I'm not sure how someone else found me and wanted to be friends but I'm so happy it happened. It actually made my day so I just had to share. I'm truly grateful for my new friend. 🥰🙏

Tomorrow is a big day. BIG! Why? I don’t know yet.

I am grateful for the time I was able to spend with my man today. I would also like to express my appreciation to all the men, women & children I was able to see, and also those that were hidden from my view. I have the deepest gratitude for my psych (doctor) friend, he is a true savant for me. The ladies at the shops today were a blessing I am compelled to tribute. I am grateful for the gas in my car that drove me everywhere I needed to be today. My appointments, and my leisure. I am grateful for the luck I had finding presents for my family. I am grateful for the man who made me chuckle today. I am grateful for the friends I have in my life. I am grateful for all the service I received today. I was able to enjoy this. I am grateful for this song: https://music.apple.com/us/album/your-wildest-dreams/1440924580?i=1440925208

At the start of this year, a lost my job that I worked hard for. It gave each but of my bery best so I was so heartbroken when I had to unfortunately leave. A month after, I lost the guy who's the reason for all the motivation and hardwork. It was a low too deep I never knew I would fall into. I'd cry and loose sleep for months.

Come May, I got hired and I finally was able to focus on something productive other than my grief. I got my bills back on track, I am now putting advanced payment as well, I got my skin care back on, I am doing morning walks now, I do not compulsive buy, I lost most of the weight I got from drinking and eating when I was low, I see a clearer future now.

Sureendering to God and His plans made me experience this. If I knew it would be this light, I would have given up everything to Him sooner. Pray to Him, you who are in deep despair. He listens! He doesn't make your wishes come true most of the time because He hears your earnest wish and aligns taht with His plans instead. God loves us no matter how irredeemable we think we are. 😁❤️🙏🏽

I'm suffering with an UTI at the moment. It's almost unbearable. And I find that gratitude is what helps me go through difficult times. This too shall pass.

I have a fantastic guy in my corner. My partner has been a God send in terms of showing what true love is, in terms of patience, in terms of kindness, affection, and support.

I admire his character deeply and I aspire to never cease learning from him and his wisdom.

I had a difficult family life. It left me with a lot of deep wounds. And this guy, he's brought so much love into my life. He's my family. And I feel so freaking blessed. How we met is such a stretch in terms coincidences and serendipity, that my relationship often feels set up by a higher power.

I am in deep gratitude for this man.

So while I have so many many things to be thankful for and to continue to express gratitude for...I'm just going to say that I am thankful for the fact that even though life is not perfect (Being real it wasn't designed to be!) it's the life meant for me. Though I may sometimes get so frustrated, I wouldn't trade my life for anything else! I'm fearful for the good things that have happened, and I am grateful for the mistakes that were made! I have lived and I learned and am continuing to learn as each day I'm still blessed enough to still be to Planet Earf to experience! I have lived long enough to understand what my Ma Dukes taught me and that there was a lesson in all things I had learned to learn or have been confirmed and so I am good with thar and I am content.

I as well as my my two adult kids in their 20s broke away from the generational curses that laid before us and continue to break them as each day passes, and I am very grateful for that as well.

The Internet options in our small town are not very good. We have tried the only two options that were available here but then I just found out tonight that another option just became available to us. We signed up for T-Mobile home internet and they will pay your cancellation fee up to a certain amount if you switch your Internet. Now we will be able to get out of the old service that didn't work and we won't have to pay out of pocket for the early cancellation fee.

i got broken up with 2 months ago and it was the most devastating loss of my life. i spent the first few weeks watching video after video about healing, trying to avoid my issues, and none of it was working. i kept asking why i wasn’t making the progress i needed, and i realized that a big contributor was weed. i kept on saying “i’ll start tomorrow, after i finish this eighth” but at some point i was like okay, this needs to stop. i remember my last smoke, it was uneventful. but it felt symbolic. i probably will not smoke again for a few years, and definitely not every day like i used to - i smoked for 5 years, and i experienced severe brain fog, memory loss, i didnt take care of myself, i was basically a bum. but in the past two months i have spent the money i would have used on weed to get on antidepressants, adhd medicine and anxiety meds. working on my worldview and mental health has made me not crave weed at all weirdly, and i’m telling you i wanted it bad. no shame for anyone who does smoke, it is fun and relaxing, but it caused me a lot of grief, overthinking and triggered me at times. keep pushing, whatever you are doing, you are going to make it!!!
