I am so happy. Having experienced heartache, physical pain, sickness, financial strain, and relationship stress, I can look back with gratitude for what's taught me to be so thankful for all I have today.

I'm healthy, both mentally and physically. My husband is kind, caring, thoughtful and every day it's the little moments that bring me so much joy. Every day I love him more than I did the day before. I love my work and I get paid more than I'd ever have imagined I would see in my life. We have a house we have made a home. I'm not stressed about not having heat in winter or cool air in summer. We have clean water. I can shower comfortably any time I want. I know all the bills will be paid without having to count pennies.

I'm still a work in progress and I'm thankful to recognize that, and to be good with starting exactly where I am today with a positive outlook for tomorrow. I am proud of myself and how far I've come in life, in the face of many hardships.

I am filled with gratitude!

I'm grateful for my husband, for family, for friends, for my medication that's helped so much, for animals, for our home, for our pet, for being alive.

I'm grateful for today. I'm grateful for my friends. I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful for new beginnings. I'm grateful for love. I'm grateful for new experiences. I'm grateful for the present. I'm grateful for how far I've come

Today I am grateful that I am feeling rested and that I am healing nicely from surgery.

Even in my heart of hearts I’m grateful for every bit of help that has come my way and every new day to make changes and to heal my life.

I’m grateful for you reading my post, for my support with friends, family, community, healers, strangers and higher powers that guide and protect me.

I’m loved unconditionally by myself even when I feel like I haven’t done much because I’m worthy of love just for existing. I appreciate this opportunity to be grateful no matter what.

I am thankful for coffee. Sipping slowly. Having that time. Very heavy heart today. Let people know you care about them. Time is finite...

1. Free time: College was exhausting. I worked really hard. It's all over now. Onto new things from here onwards.

2. Space: Having time and space to do things I want to do. Time and space just for myself.

3. Second chances: Sometimes in life, I F up. Some people are kind enough to give me another chance to redeem myself. I never take that for granted.

Grateful that I have a chance to spend the weekend with my partner.

Grateful that I have a job and an income.

Grateful that lots of new anime is coming out this season.

Grateful I had ice cream today.

Grateful for the laughter in my life.

It's so easy to fall into a pit of despair when you're so busy watching all the negative things happening in life and missing the positive.

Today is a gorgeous, warm day out and all I want is to be playing pickleball with partners and friends. It feels unfair to keep having to deal with so many issues.

I recognize this feeling of being underwater and not knowing which way the surface is. I'm grateful that I've been here before because I know that all I need to do is stop struggling and simply find stillness. It is only in the absence of struggle that I can float to the top and, once again, get my head above water.

I'm grateful for:

• My past experiences, good and bad, and the wisdom to pick what lessons to take with me and which to leave behind.

• Getting to play against my board. I never thought I'd be so happy to play for 10 minutes against a piece of plywood.

• 8 days that stayed at a level 4 pain or below out of 14. Definitely improvement over the two weeks before that when it was 0 days.

• My PT is pretty confident I can heal my herniations on my own based off my improvement over the last 2 weeks and injections coming up next Friday. It'll take time but I'd prefer it over surgery if possible.

• all my hard and varied workouts before my injury are paying off because my strength and mobility is making my healing easier. It doesn't always feel that way but I see it.

• Getting to actually do the leg press in PT today! It's the first time I've been able to work my quads forever and I'm so grateful.

• My close friends who always remind me that I am loved. Who have taken the time and attention over the years to know what I like and don't like. Who know what I'm thinking just based off my facial expressions. Who reach out if I go MIA for more than a day or two because I'm never that quiet. I treasure them. They are my kindred spirits.

• Men with tattoos

What are you grateful for in your past present or future?

And reading. Grateful for my insatiable thirst for knowledge, understanding, and insight. Grateful for my eyes that are able to track the words across the page. Grateful for authors who take the time and energy to share.

Today is the last day I hold guilt and regret in my heart.

I am grateful for the many mistakes I've made on this journey so far, they've taught me much of myself.

I admit, I can only be as good as I can - I expect there will be many more learning opportunities to come.

I will strive to be mindfully kind and loving to people in my life, temporary or not.

I woke up terrified after a nightmare that mirrored my real life pain. I put my best self on and got support and took time to practice my gratitudes and the worst of it faded. I’m so grateful to be able to change my fate, to heal my wounds, to see love and light in the world in spite of any hardships I’ve gone through. 💛

My fat mom Her leftover alcohol is my alcohol for on the go I’m grateful because whenever I’m having a bad morning and I’m tired of the long drive to school I just take a couple shots of her old tequila She doesn’t know I think she is too caught up in her other bottles and her other boyfriend that’s not her husband and my father

When I am sitting in traffic I drink the indirect gift from my mom The music becomes more beautiful and driving becomes an art Weaving through the passing cars The musical sound of the honks around me

Seriously! You know what's worse than being single? Being in a shitty relationship. Having someone physically present making your life actively worse, sapping your life energy, I've been there bro. 5 years. All the fighting, all the negative emotions, feeling trapped in a shitty relationship is one of the worst feelings and I'm grateful that it's just me myself and I also my loved ones.

Thank you for taking me seriously this time when I was really sick. My face was lopsided and I couldn't speak properly. The drug reaction was terrifying. It causes severe agitation and anxiety and feelings of impending doom. You all tended to me so rapidly and with kindness and respect. When it happened before I was gaslit and treated with contempt and disgust, I didn't have the facial symptoms then. Thank you Mum for taking me to A and E and for calming me down. Thank you Dad for your hugs.

I’m grateful that I’m still busy at work and able to pay my bills 🙏🏻

Another wonderful day to rejoice in all that is good. Though there are clouds of challenges, the silver lining is always there when we take the time to look for it. Even if we can’t see it, having faith does get us in alignment with the feeling of resolution for the best outcome.

I'm grateful for endings. I'm grateful for beginnings. I'm grateful for nature. I'm grateful for air. I'm grateful for the present. I'm grateful for today.

I feel empowered today and want to share this feeling with you all and hopefully inspire some to feel empowered with me. It is a difficult lesson to learn but my big take away from this week is:

Positive choices/healthy changes compound on themselves and lead to beautiful change. Patience is the real key.

Self-improvement, attitude adjustments, and mindset changes take time. It can be discouraging because you want to do better and be better so badly, but there is not a shortcut. There is no pill you can take to change your attitude, no one action will propel you to the promised land. The only way through, is through, as they say.

Discipline and consistent work are the only ways to create lasting and meaningful change.

Once this has been accepted, then we can begin to notice the peace that exists within ourselves. I feel serenely calm, yet motivated to remain disciplined and see just how great I can be!

Wishing everyone a happy Friday-Eve and I challenge every one in this group to make a difficult choice to be better today!

With Love

Today I feel grateful that I made enough money to cover my rent increase. I am grateful to still have a roof over my head and to have the things I need. I get to go to counseling today, and go home and make dinner. Feeling grateful to have the basic of needs met, and the luxury of needs met like mental health assistance.

I had back to back interviews for the last couple days and I am so grateful to be able to take this morning to relax and unwind. I am also really grateful that I worked really hard and had loads of people around me supporting me through it. Thank you so much! I feel so blessed and honoured

You know, some days I find it really difficult to find something to be grateful for. I am a cynic - whether by nature or experience - and, despite erroneously believing that I have all the answers and insight needed at any given time, I am not an oracle or even particularly smart.

I am very grateful that my stubbornness has not gotten the best of me and that I have been able to keep my arrogance in check enough that the universe/world/god/overlord(s) has/have decided not to teach me a lesson, humble me in a humiliating way, or make me fight to continue to move forward.

With the ambition and hope of youth having dispersed into the ether of existence about 10 years ago for, I am grateful that I am finally catching up on sleep at 41, and I am grateful that I have learned I can live in a small space and be just fine.

I am grateful my life is easy enough that I can settle into mediocrity. I only regret that I didn't realize this was the destination I have been seeking.

I'm grateful to wake up sober, not hungover. Enjoying birdsong as I get ready for work.

I have a warm home A nice comfy bed Parents who love me Siblings who love me Good friends A great career I am pretty I have a good personality I have a warm heart GOD AND JESUS matter to me (changed everything for me) I have an adorable dog Fresh, clean water to drink Dreams I have an awesome grandma Books to read Songs to listen to Singing Living in a nice state So so many things ….. life’s to short to be upset about so many problems

Out of the blue, my ex sent me $200 as a birthday present. Then, my dog qualified for a free spay, so I don't have to sweat that expense. It was a good day. :)
