Gratitude Journal

I am grateful this morning for a cup of very bold coffee!

I am grateful for being able to spend much of the month of May with my daughter including my birthday, her birthday and Mother’s Day. I’m further grateful that I’ll be able to visit her during her internship for a week next month.

I am grateful for the insights that have come forward this week. I am making peace with some pieces of myself that had limited perspective. Taking another look is helping to round things out and allow for greater balance again.

I am grateful to be grateful, one day at a time!

The birds are singing happy tunes!

I am greatful that I have not had to shower since friday

they are so painful for me, and it's good to have a chance for my body to relax.

though it isn't doing much relaxing

I am grateful for the sun shining on my face this afternoon after lunch. I closed my eyes and felt its comforting warmth.

no shower today.

always a major plus

I also got some deliveries today of dvds.

I love it when the postman comes haha

Grateful that I am allowed to see people in person again

I also like shower free days lol

Flowers in our garden, birds singing

I made a lot of progress today with a tough work progress and that is something I'm grateful for.

today I am greatful that I have got through the week, it's monday morning, and the weather is nice and the birdies are singing

I am grateful for my father. He is a wonderful dad and grandfather and a good man. I am grateful he is recovering and gaining his strength back. I can't wait for his quarantine to be over so that I can give him a hug.

I'm grateful for my wife. She's the strength for our whole family, and is dealing with so much right now.

I don't have the back story, and I guess eventually I'll stumble on it. No matter. I'm grateful to Ms. Santos, Yale, Coursera, all of them for having this course available at no charge. I'm not so sure I would have paid as I prefer face-to-face and there's just so much good stuff that's gifted into the internet.

I've been delighted with the course. Santos kept circling back to "miswanting" things like great grades, high salaries, material stuff as missing the point. After a certain level of income, one most of the patient students listening to her would easily reach with their Yale degree in their pockets, more doesn't lead to happier.

What does? Meditation, exercise, sleep, savoring experiences, gratitude, setting up your environment to support your happiness. A couple more in the mix. When I needed a month's project on the good stuff, I picked gratitude.

I just went back and finished the course. Well designed, thought-thru site, not many issues on my side (though other learners reported several doggedly frustrating ones).

My pre- and post- scores showed a decrease in wellbeing. I have a long life ahead, anyway and will earn back more happiness.

I am grateful for my home. It is a sunny and breezy morning and the birds are singing. I have all that I need and I feel blessed.

I am grateful for my home also. It's past mid day and I can't hear the birds singing right now, but I often hear them and I welcome hearing them all (even the less traditionally harmonious sounds.... I love the sound of sea gulls. And I am not currently by the sea side I have all I need. I'm grateful also for all the loving people and beings in this world.

I'm grateful my body did what it needed to do in order to protect me during hard times. Those behaviors are no longer serving me and I hope I can "update my files" in the near future.

I'm grateful for the insights shared in this forum.

I'm glad that a stranger directed me to this forum.

I'm grateful for sunny mornings with the curtains pulled back and a bottle of water.

Today, while drinking a cold glass of water, I had such gratitude that I live in such an amazing country where I can turn on the tap and have clean water to drink

I’m grateful my anxiety isn’t that bad today. It could be a lot worse.
