Gratitude posts

Hi everybody, I thought having a topic where we can post what we are grateful for might help. I used to have a site where I posted to daily which then sent me a summary email weekly of things I was grateful for but have had some problems with this recently so felt this might be a good replacement.

Here's my three things to be grateful for today:

A loving family,
A part-time job,
This forum.

Re: Gratitude posts

I just started a gratitude journal. At first I thought it was Dicky - stupid.

I enter 5 things just before I go to sleep. I'm having great sleeps because my mind is in a positive state

Re: Gratitude posts

today I'm grateful for

1) My new oven that I cooked banana muffins for the first time in years and my sons were really happy and said it reminded them of childhood and coming home from school.

2) That I've been well enough to come back on the forum today.

3) I've achieved some household chores that were long overdue.

4) That at least for today I have felt in control for the first time in ages

Re: Gratitude posts

That's awesome news about your son @Former-Member. I'm thrilled for you. Let's hope he uses that red car at Christmas to come and visit you.
