Gratitude Attitude

by The Writer 0 Comment

I’ve never done a Gratitude Journal or any sort of formal reflection of the good things going on in my life. A book I’ve read this week mentioned that daily gratitude can change your overall thinking or feeling about life. So reflecting on the week past, here are the things I am grateful for.

Nephews

I’m grateful for my nephews. I’m grateful I got to celebrate two of my nephew’s birthdays this month. Though they are both young men and live far away I was happy to celebrate them on their day and to share what they mean to me.

I’m grateful I had my brother’s boys this week, while their mom was out of town and their dad had early-morning jobs. I’m grateful for the early morning commute each day as I drove them to their summer activities. I’m grateful I get to experience the joy I feel when they are present in my home.

Home

I’m grateful I have a home of my own, filled with things that bring me happiness.

Job

I’m grateful I have a job that allows me to pay my monthly bills. I’m grateful to have mentally challenging, sometimes physically exhausting days. I’m grateful for my co-workers, especially the building custodians this week, for their dedication and hard work.

Family

I’m grateful for each member of my family. The more the years pass, the more love and feelings of friendship I have for them. I’m grateful I live near a majority of my family, and that I can still interact with those who live farther via social media.

Random Gratitude

I’m grateful for the rain; for the immediate peace that petrichor brings me, and the sweet recollections of childhood when I hear the rumble of summer thunder.

I’m grateful for locally owned bookstores and self-help books.

I’m grateful I was able to reset my AirPods charging station so I can use them as I work around my house.

I’m grateful for water, to float and flow with, to kick and swim against, to quench thirst and sustain life. 

I’m grateful for friends who love me and accept me even when I go quiet.

I’m grateful for me; for the person I am and the one I am trying to become.

The Writer

Website:

This author is deeply private and introverted. I neither like the spotlight, nor do I seek out opportunities to shine in front of strangers. I rarely post anything on social media platforms; I mainly keep what platforms I have because friends and family members mainly communicate that way. So on this site you won't see a profile picture or my real name. However, you will learn a lot of other things about me: my character, my sense of humor, my passions, vulnerabilities, struggles, and so much more. If this type of sharing doesn't feel like your jam, you won't hurt my feelings if you'd rather go elsewhere. I'm not everyone's taste.
