Lets Express the Gratitude !!
In our daily docile lives of huge hustle and bustle how many times do we feel greatful for having a roof above our heads , foods to feed us five times a day and having amazing people around to support us ? We are surrounded by certain simple and basic 'luxuries' of life like food and water that many people around the world wishes to die for ! We say these are the basic necessities , but no , these are the luxuries because what we call simple and basic has yet remained a dream for many people . We often talk about staying postive and embracing Gratitude all the time but how often do we actually pause and recall all the things we are greatful for ?
So this thread is about stating five things that each one of us is greatful for in life.Mine are :
- To have the luxury of enjoying the basic needs that many people still dream of
- to have such amazing parents and supportive friends
- to my books who have always been my best friends in times when I felt low
- to my wonderful health professionals who have helped me stay well throughout
- to the paper and my favourite pen for helping me create poems through which I bleed whenever my tears get lost .......
🙌 What are yours ?🙌

Hi hi Phoenix, good to see you again. I guess I have a thing for gratitude lol, just the idea is sooo amazing. I like how you mentioned that what might seem as basic necessities to some are actually luxuries for others, something they probably just dream about. It really helps to cultivate a sense of gratitude within ourselves, to live a more content and happier life. ❤
I'm so glad you have such wonderful things and people to be grateful for. ❤
5 things for me mhmmm goes like this: I'm grateful for life, loved ones and everything in between today and everyday (or atleast I try to lol, specially on hard days xD). ❤

It takes a certain degree of mindfulness to enjoy bird chirping:)
Five Things Iam Grateful For - (1-7 cups for making me hang on to my life even through tough times) ( 2- My mom who is my best friend and a whole world to me ) ( 3- My pillow for holding up my emotions through challenging times ) (4- My only friends who I met and will never meet again back in the mental institution who gave me hope ) ( 5- Myself for keeping it together ) 😊
That was really very touching Love , I wish you all the best for your life and may you find something new to be greatful for everyday and get all the happiness you deserve :)
Thank you soo much 😊 Here is a rainbow for you 🌈
@PhoenixTears5972 Beautiful post ^-^ so many things to be grateful for but I agree often we forget to actually show our gratitude for the things that just blend in the background but are so important.
I am grateful for butterflies for they always remind me of a lost loved one, for my vision and way of thinking, for the people in my life, for my heart and for flowers cause they make the world a little better.
@PhoenixTears5972 aw thank you for this lovely post ❤️
it is so true that we often forget to be grateful for the 'small' and 'simple' things in our lives. and how powerful expressing gratitude can help us to get through those challenging days and struggling nights, thank you for this reminder.
5 things that i am grateful everyday would be my 5 senses, they would remind me how much i can do and move forward. The not-so-small things that i am thankful for: i can see some creatures crawling on the floor 😱, i can taste food that i eat, i can listen to my cat purring 😼, i can feel the cold on the condensed glass of fresh orange juice, i can smell the fresh dirt while gardening 🌱
(thank you, Sunnie for tagging me)
Thats a pretty awesome way in which you expressed your gratitude Chevy. Tbh, I was a little startled reading everyone's replies including yours where I learnt that its possible to be greatful for even the simplest of the simplest things like nature or human senses which I never thought before !! Thanks a lot for sharing this 🤗❤️
@PhoenixTears5972 Hello this is a great thread and helpful thank you
