Day 220 • Silly Ice Cream Bar via /r/gratitude

Grateful today for the ice cream bar which made a really yummy snack after dinner! I’ve eaten probably 50 of them (not in a row 😉) but never really felt grateful for even one of those. (shock! awe 😱)

I wonder why not 🤔

Being grateful every day in a note like this gives me great pause. I often ponder what to write about. I think of many things usually and just pick one but tonight I thought about what made me really happy. Maybe none of those ice creams made me happy? I mean, I know I like them, which is why I eat them, and that makes me happy at some semi-conscious level… but I never felt grateful for them. I kinda feel bad about this 😕

Another thought has me by the tail, how many things am I not grateful for everyday? This list is exhaustive. It’s not that I am ungrateful. But maybe I am being privileged or even pretentious? Another word that comes to mind is entitled? I really hope not. I really want to be a really grateful person.

Because I’m not giving thanks enough, I feel like I need to broaden my conscious efforts to gives thanks for more things everyday. So how can I be more humble and more grateful?
