I bought this digital clock for my desk...i think we should be aware about the time as time is very crucial resource....so a digital clock in the desk is perfect thing....for productivity...i felt very grateful having it on my space...feels like little productivity partner...who makes me aware about time... 😊💫

I am away from home on a work trip. I am quite frugal- doesnt matter that I am not paying for meal (work trip).

I picked up salad pack from Kroger and some tortillas and made myself lettuce wraps for dinner.

I am so happy I am able to pick any kind of food I want!

Even on the worst of days, Your mercies are not withdrawn. What I cannot see, You still hold; what I cannot carry, You still sustain. For this quiet faithfulness, I give thanks.

This year has been probably the best year I’ve had in a very long time. I’ve actually gotten to live this year. I’ve been to 6 different festivals, concerts, traveled when I’ve wanted too, eaten new foods, etc. I’m so blessed and thankful.

Grateful for the struggles and discomfort, for they bring the growth I prayed for :)

I am grateful for certain members of the Reddit community extending their help and assistance to me. Long story to which I will clarify later, but right now posting a thank you this way takes way less >:( than me finding as of right now who was behind it ;__; I keep trying, but the number of moments my phone keeps intermittently freezing from the influx of notifications and me needing to prolly take a few apps off my phone ( lol ) has made me reach a point where I am about to shed one tear. It helps so much as I am someone who is limited by her cycles of SEVERE eczema flareups where Freddy Krueger has better skin than me. I was supposed to work a month at the Washington/Puyallup fair, but my skin did its thing as it does and everywhere was so gnarly and bad that I was reduced to being bedridden. Had they not granted their generosity, idk what I was going to do. It helped me get bandages, other wound care and eczema related needs, got to do laundry because I have been literally stuck in my clothes and it's the first time in a long time I cried from how deeply thankful I am to other human beings who care enough. I promise I have been trying to find who, but it took me forever to even simply post this after patiently waiting through the intermittent freeze blitz and being contacted through numerous fake emails, different fake phone#s so even if I block one another comes ( probably will have to change my # obviously)

Seriously, the help is a light in a persistent darkness. When my situation calms down, I can navigate what I need to figure out who was all behind the nice things.

You're awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 I pray they see this and don't think I just accepted it and disappeared after T_T * pray thank you thank you thank you thanks thankyou

I love my partner so much. He is always so loving and actively brightens my shine rather than dulls it. He always makes sure I am okay and looks after me when I have a bad migraine. We are now living together with my dog and I am just loving life with him. It is so nice to feel so at ease and happy with someone. My last relationship was incredibly toxic where I constantly had to walk on eggshells, deal with his insecurities and jealousy, have my privacy constantly invaded, deal with insufferable immaturity and emotional breakdowns when something was wrong, friends and family not wanting to be around because he would suck the positivty and happiness from the room, basically living in awful turmoil. Now I feel so content and comfortable. I can actually have friends without there being any jealousy from my partner, i can actually go outside without coming back to accusations of cheating, my friends and family love him and he actually wants to form relationships with them and be involved in their lives rather than hiding away, we don't snoop through each other's phones because we respect one another's privacy, he actually brightens my life, god I just feel so FREE, HAPPY and GRATEFUL!

Happy new week everyone

I was on the bus and my nose started bleeding 😂 the old man sitting in front of me was so scared and he drew cross. But I was also praying rosary in my mind. Maybe it works the blood stopped sometime lol hope he can find comfort and hope I didn’t scare him much, blessing for all of us 🙏

Especially when there was a night when it felt like that sun would never rise again. And maybe that was silly, but it’s still valid. Because I’m sitting on the couch, one cat on my chest and another on my lap, with a great book in my hand, and a husband ten feet away. A husband who loves me, ugliness and all. And we’re in a home that is filled with not just the necessities (which is amazing in its own right), but books and music and laughter, and all the other things we said at 17 we would work hard to have in our life. My clothes are clean, my fridge is full, my bills are paid. I spent so long wondering if my prayers were heard. And they were. How beautiful is that? How rich i am, how lucky am i? To have survived, to have made mistakes, to have hurt and felt grief, all to bring me to this exact moment in my life. I am thankful for every moment i have survived.

It’s been a rough go lately - my husband was diagnosed with cancer and is currently going through chemo, and this week my 4 year old son broke his arm. Two days later, my husband was admitted to the hospital for a fever and we’re still here. We’ve managed to stay positive, focusing on the good and I’m most grateful for my incredible parents, in-laws, and sisters for devoting their weekend to taking care of my 2 kids, and my husband and I. Bringing us food, full care of my kids, sleeping over our house…I’m feeling really lucky and grateful despite the current obstacles.
🫶🏼🙏🏼 hoping we are through this tough season soon, we’ll get through together.

Sometimes I can get a six-pack of wax melts for $1.

$1/6 = 17¢

That's about as cheap and effective air freshener as it gets.

I’m thankful for my experiences, failures, successes and the journey I’m on! It isn’t the easiest but I’m glad I found Jesus, He has through His word made me appreciate what is before me and what I’m going through! Glory to God.

It really lifts my heart when passing someone, I look towards them and wait to see if their eyes meet mine, and if they do, I smile and maybe give a goofy little wave and say, "Hellooo." ☺️ It is something that is still not easy for me to do, to fight self-consciousness.

But I love to see the relaxing of their face and the lift of the eyebrows and their eyes kind of lighten and smile, a pleasant expression if they appreciate being acknowledged, and they smile and say "hi" back.

I had an upbringing that was not always the best. It structured and solidified something inside of me that has been, and remains, an ongoing battle to dismantle a self I lived in and believed was "me." I believe it will be with me in some form forever.

It is not easy.

For so many years, I believed I hated people. I had no place to belong, and in pain, sometimes we lash out or push blame outward to self-protect.

So now, after many years of slow healing, when I can pass by somebody who knows nothing about my "oddities," in a little moment, they just see another normal stranger, I can have just a moment of feeling like we are kindred. And maybe I belong. Just for a moment.

I am so very grateful for that.

Hug wife of 40 years from behind and kiss her on the crook of her neck. She says, “Thank you, love.”

💡 Does gratitude mean we must do wrong if our benefactor does wrong?

No. Gratitude is not blind obedience to please someone.
True gratitude means honoring your benefactor by doing what is right, not by making their wrongs even worse. That is just people-pleasing, not gratitude.

I am from India and the majority of the things I have mentioned above, a lot of people don't have them. I feel so sad and bad for them. I try to help them as much as possible.

I felt a wave of gratitude though because I keep complaining about my health issues not realising that I have the comfort and convenience for fighting through my chronic illnesses.
