Trying to find Birthday gratitude via /r/gratitude

My birthday, to be frank, is always kind of a sh*t show. 22 years ago today I buried my mom on my 27th birthday. I hate this day. But it is also a day where the day is ruined by a pattern of family fueds, canceled plans, ruined plans, being forgotten. Minimal effort from those in my life. I never expect big things but compared to the effort that is put into them on their days, it isnt even comparable. So today. I am finding the silver lining

I am grateful to be cancer free.

I am grateful for my home

I am grateful that I love myself more each day

I am grateful that next year I can choose how to spend my day.

I am grateful. Because I want happiness and peace.
