Even if it’s a rough patch, I at least tend to have laughter through tears because of them. I always feel grateful when touching them or working with them because they are compassionate, kind, and caring creatures who show their loving essence without fear. 4 Reply Ose4 months agoOseGratefulness and being happy usually goes alongside, nourishing each other. Today I felt deeply happy for the ones who finally will succeed in publishing their precious work of many years for the benefit of many and I felt gratefulness, even more so because it seems it will be well appreciated. So grateful to see their work for the sake of many starts blossoming to the outside world. So happy and grateful that finally a wonderful door seems to open 🙏Congratulations to the ones concerned! 6 Reply Wiltrud4 months agoWiltrudWhenever it made me change my perspective, mood, behaviour… 4 Reply KC4 months agoKCWhen I consciously choose to be grateful, my energy shifts to a more positive, healthy and life giving place. 7 Reply pkr4 months agopkrEach and every day……🙏 6 Reply Alsa4 months agoAlsaGratefulness makes me happy because it’s core essence is abundance rather than lack.

I have been enjoying nice late summer weather on my mountain bike. Cheers! 3 Reply Tom4 months agoTomI have opened myself to happiness when I have taken to the time to be grateful for and notice the little things in life that are offered each day. A brief time to relax, the change of seasons, taking the time to meditate. When I am watchful I recognize that gratitude, happiness and love come from within. It is not necessary, often unwise, to look for them elsewhere. 7 Reply GCharlotte4 months agoGCharlotteEveryday being grateful has made me happy for that that I have such as my support like family, faith and God while too my life. 4 Reply Beachnik4 months agoBeachnikI am always grateful for the positive energy that gratitude gives. It becomes a way of life. Someone said “you can be sad because rose bushes have thorns, or you can be grateful that thorn bushes have roses.” Gratitude is a habit, a choice. There is always going to be negativity around us and we do have to be realistic, but there also is always something beautiful to be grateful for. 5 Reply Carla4 months agoCarlaEach & every time I practice a grateful heart, a happy smile ripples forward 4 Reply Journey4 months agoJourneySomeone said ‘what you focus on grows’.

It is then that I struggle to recognize that, no matter what unpleasantness my instant problem entails, I really am blessed because my circumstances could be so much worse. I admit that I can be tempted to play the “victim card” and fuss and complain but I also know that such carrying-on is a waste of time and energy.
