Gratitude is really super powerful and I’m glad I got a reminder again! 💛

1. How will you be grateful for over this next week or weekend coming up? 

I think just allowing myself time to embrace the present as it is~ would be a nice way for it. 

2. Did you see something beautiful today?

1a. I'm entirely grateful to be alive, AND surviving considering what I've been through! The fact I'm still able to feel the fabric of the blanket, the carpet, the floor, smell the air, the flowers, the ground beneath my feet, the texture of how smooth the floor is, the feeling of my skin against my fingers being a good sign I'm fully alive, the ability to live a much better, focused life!

2a. I took a look outside and saw the flowers today! They're looking better each time I check. Not to mention how lush the grass looks out there, the color of the sky... I love nature. 😊 

3a. I'm looking forward to a bowl of ramen!... ok, not just that! 🤣 I'm looking forwards towards the future, pretty optimistically at that! Even with some fears, I'm learning each step of the way, so the fact I'm actively putting in that effort makes me feel a ton better, even if it's slow steps.

  1. I will start gratitude journaling in my diary. Today I am grateful for being alive and waking up in the morning.

  2. No, I didn't see anything beautiful today since I am in my home 🏡. However, I am grateful for completing my house chores.

  3. I am looking forward to crocheting more in the future when I have free time.
