This year has been harder but also full of gratitude for life, living and loved ones (on and off cups), for me. ❤️
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
I hear you Sunisshiningandsoareyou. I feel this year was harder for most people and it showed us how grateful we can be to be alive and have our loves ones.
@amiablePeace77 gratitude helped me stop the blame game
@soulsings
That's good soul! Blame games never lead to anything positive.
@amiablePeace77
I believe that gratitude brings meaning and purpose to life and relationships, and really makes you see the beauty that flows through our world. I'm most grateful for all the kind friends I've made in school who are always looking out for me and building a community of validation and kindness. I'm so grateful for my friends and my school.
@BlueSkies1021
I hear you BlueSkies1021. Gratitude shows us how "rich" we truly are having friends around us.

Hi Ami,
You had suggested to us about making a gratitude jar at the beginning of the year. I have not been really consistent but I have 80 slips of paper in it for things that I often took for granted. When I look over them I realize just how blessed I am.
@scarletPear1945 and ami that is a great idea.
So is part of the exercise to read all the slips of paper in the jar?
Maybe you could share some of them here in this thread or in this one https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsOnlineTherapy_157/ReflectionCorner_2175/TheGratitudeProjectList3ThingsThatYouAreGratefulFor_243106/
I pick a word every year. For 2022, it is GRATEFUL
I am grateful to be part of 7 Cups. I’m grateful for my husband, my son!
@SparklyFly wonderful to hear how grateful people are
Here comes the sun after a dreary day
I am feeling light and joyful
My partner
@soulsings I agree! I love this thread.
I started practicing mindful gratitude only until later this year and it greatly helped me in terms of not victimising myself and rather be grateful for the things i have and opportunity to learn from the experiences i carried throughout the year. Being grateful and humble really helps me lead a much simpler life.
@lyricalSea85
Nice that you put your focus on the positive in your life! I believe it helps more to grow than to look back and get caught up in a mental loop of negative emotions.

Gratitude helped me realize how much I have to be happy for when things may not have gone the way I wished. It helps to keep me grounded. I am very thankful for all my loved ones and all the great times I have in my life.
@fruityPond7887
When things go wrong there can be the risk of falling into the trap of seeing everything in a negative way. Nice that gratitude keeps you focused on what is good in life.
Gratitude helped me appreciate life more and I am grateful I have another day to do better
@courageousPomegranate766 gratitude helps me not see the world as an adversary even if there are things going on I do not understand or that apall me.
This life is really a precious treasure.
