FlowerInDisguise19's Gratitude Journal ♥
Hello my fellow lovely listeners,
Recently I read an amazing post by our lovely Sam @SoulsurferaboutAdopting an Attitude of Gratitudeit was beautiful and full of wisdom - her idea gave me this idea - to start a Gratitude Journal that we can all share in what we are grateful for each day or generally. I thought it would bring our community together amazingly..
I'll start off..
1. I am truly grateful for fresh food, warmshelter and water - these may be the simple things in life but they are so so important for living and if we didn't have even one of those - that would be an extreme struggle. For someone like me, who has experienced homelessness - not full homelessness like being out on the streets - but another kind (you can PM me for my story if you wish) I am so grateful for the fact that I have a warm place to stay in, that I do get fresh food everyday, that I have water to drink. I am emphasizing these points because we overlook the fact at how important these things are in our lives.
Anyway that's my point across, feel free to start off this post! I'm looking forward to it!
Lots and lots of love and hugs?
What an amazing idea @sweetBlueberry19-well done for kicking this off :) I am so grateful for the sun and great friends both of which I've had in abundance today. Feeling the warm sun on my back and knowing thatsummer is on our doorstep is a beautiful thing. And having great friends to laugh with is something I never take for granted. The best things in life truly are free :)
What a beautiful way to start off the post @Soulsurfer, Iagree - truly,the best things in life are free and we shouldn'tevertake them for granted
I'm going to be cheeky and add one more of my favouritefreebies that I am grateful for! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! And this one isdedicated toone of my bestestbuddies@Iara
@Soulsurfer, you can add as many things as you like to this posthun
and that's lovely! I love sunrises and sunsets - just watching them is so so calming. Makes me think now - even the little things in our life, we should appreciate and be grateful for!
@SoulSurfer
oh my gosh, you are soo amazing and today I walked outside to grab a mango from the tree in my backyard and when the sun hit me on the face I couldn't help to smile and think of you. It reminded me that even though i might not go out much I'm lucky to be in a place where the sun shine bright and the warm temperature lets me go to the beach any day I want to...even on the winter!
So thank you Sam! For reminding me to be grateful for the little things
I'm really grateful for my family! Although I'm forever fighting with them about almost everything, something happened today that made me realize how selfish I've been. I hadn't been noticing the sacrifices they're continuously making for me and instead, I've only been whining about the stuff they do wrong. But thinking about it now, I realize tht they're the ones that are helping me move forward even through all the difficulties and problems and tahtif I didn't have them by my side, I don't really know where or what state I'd be in right now. So I just want to thank God for the amazing family He's so kindly given me and I'm gonna try my best to appreciate everything they do for me! <3
