Dangerously_Well Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Hi everyone! 😊 I'm starting a new thread called "The Gratitude Jar" as a way for us to focus on the positive things in our lives, big or small. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the challenges and forget to appreciate the good stuff. So, each day (or whenever you feel like it!), I invite you to share something you're grateful for in this thread. It could be anything from a cozy blanket and a warm cup of tea to a supportive friend or a beautiful sunset. Sharing our gratitude can help us cultivate a more positive mindset and appreciate the simple joys in life. Plus, it's a great way to spread some warmth and encouragement within our community. I'll start! Today, I'm grateful for the sunshine streaming through my window and the sound of birds chirping outside. It's a beautiful reminder that spring is on its way. What are you grateful for today? ✨ 1 1 2
Liamo Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Oh, what a great idea. I am grateful for soooo much!!! Picking just one is difficult. I am grateful that my son keeps improving and recovering from his accident. 2
WizardofOSS Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 I'm grateful for the "Good Morning" wishes from my Little, Middle and Pup. It warms my heart to be thought of first thing in the morning. 2 1 1
shadowrider Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Great idea ! My first entry here will be to show my gratitude to the OP for making this thread. And also those who have or will contribute to it. Y'all are what I am thankful for today. Hopefully this thread will serve as a reminder for us that this is a family/community and help us to grow closer as such. 3 1
.คℓ𝐞ﾒเᏰααα .ᐟ Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 I'm grateful for the warmth of being indoors during a harsh winter- for being safe. I'm in a Tri-State area, so our local news talks about just how bad Kentucky got hit by flooding, but I'm sitting here dry, cozy, and able to internet. Ponycorns. I'm grateful for ponycorns! 🦄 1 1 1
Baby Manda Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 I'm grateful for my first ever Care Bear! An early birthday present along with a weighted puppy (Sandy) and a cute purple bunny (Lilac)! 1
Ocy Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 That's an excellent idea, thank you for introducing it! Today, I'm therefore grateful for the sun shining outside. 😄 No clouds in sight, there are big chances that I'll get to take nice pictures of the sunset! 1
jumpybun Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 so true ☺️☺️ taking time to remember the things you appreciate helps you keep pushing forward i'm grateful to relax after my first week at a new job! rewarding work, but i'm glad it's saturday ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ 2 1
Baby Manda Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 I love this idea! So I can't sleep and when that happens I write a list of things I'm thankful for to help me relax. It's a flip-it idea to change my thinking. Hopefully that's ok... I am thankful for... - finding rides to work last week and next week while my car is in the shop - being halfway through my master's program! 3 & 1/2 semesters left!!! (After the last 4 assignments due tomorrow). - my oldest daughter finding full-time employment - finishing my winter assessments before the weekend - time to color today 🥳 - my paci and bottle and diapers and onesies to be little baby me - the opportunity to sing at church in the morning - the ok to use my new exercise bike finally after breaking my foot in November!!! (As soon as I get it put together) - all my stuffies in my bed to snuggle I think I'm ready to rest! So I'm thankful for bedtime! Good night! 2 2
LittleBiscut Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Hey, I am grateful for so many things but I struggle to take a moment in the day and remember what they are. This gives me a minute to take a pause. I am grateful for the lovely Australian beach I went to yesterday and the beautiful sea I got a chance to swim in. I don’t normally get to swim. It was very relaxing and internally cleansing 🥹🥹 taking a little weight off my shoulders. Have a great Day 🥹☺️ 2 1

karan Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 I don't want to be -ve, but I at the moment I have nothing to be grateful for, nonetheless, I think this is a nice post/ gesture for people to share their gratefulness/ gratitude with everyone. 2
Baby Manda Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 I am thankful my car is kinda fixed.... the oil change happened and the driver's side door is open, but does not lock. My mechanic is looking for a new lock. He had to break it to get the door open, but it's a small town, so I can drive it in town. Plus I'm thankful he didn't bill me yet! He's waiting for the part to come in and print one bill. Which means I can get my taxes done and I'll have money to pay the bill! I also need a headlight changed (right after picking it up!) So much to be thankful for today! Now...I need to find someone to fix the garage door... the chain broke and won't open🤷♀️... Well, one step at a time... I'm thankful tomorrow is Sunday and I can go to church, coz there's a guy at church who fixes stuff at my house for me! 1 1
Dangerously_Well Posted March 2 Author Report Posted March 2 I think today, I am thankful for Baby Girl Miss Amanda's thankfulness. Demonstrating positiveness and thankfulness perfectly!
