Not My Usual Self So Connected to Gratitude~Had a Tough Week’s End, So Much So Was Difficult To Embrace and Post Any Gratitude >So I Am Grateful For My Mindset To Always Keep Even The Concept of Gratitude At The Forefront & Search For Something To Be Grateful For. Grateful For The Commitment to This via /r/gratitude

This Past Thurs/Fri, 2 things that were quite devastating and hurtful occurred, and still confused where it came from and why-left me feeling battered and cored, grieving heavily.

I wanted to post a gratitude entry and dont know anyone in their right mind, if in my situation, even before last week, that would be able to feel grateful.

But I know I need it. I know it lifts and sustains me and enhances health properties. I looked at my broken down dwelling and thought of being grateful for no war and being in a safe country etc, the usual things I've mentioned……….. thought that would be a repeat and realized how low I was feeling,

………and then, it dawned on me.

> I am so grateful even just to have the growth mindset, the spiritual mindset, the humble non privileged mindset — to turn to, cling to, commit to…………… a continual embracing and contemplation of gratitude. I am really grateful that I have that instilled in me, as a way to provide myself a lift up and some resiliency.

I am grateful that gratitude is an activity – a muscle I have exercised and practiced.

I am so grateful that gratitude is in my life, my mind, my heart, …. is in me, of me and a part of me.

I am grateful to myself for having given myself this gratitude learning curve journey that is now mostly ( some days some effort needed though) 2nd nature to turn to as easy as breathing itself. I recognize that not everyone…many people dont know this at all and dont have it to turn to in dark or tough times.

I am so grateful to myself for giving this learning and practice to me, for the curiosity, self love, commitment and fore thought. Thank-you, me : )

I am grateful that gratitude is in me. Thank-you universe : )

I am grateful for the tool and practice of gratitude.

I am grateful for the beauty and the healing of gratitude.

Thank-you.
