”Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.” - Sarah Ban Breathnach
Welcome to Graturday Week Eleven!🎉
Every Saturday I invite anyone who happens to stumble upon this post to share something they feel grateful for. It's a nice thing to do all on it's own but you can also win prizes.
What prizes?
🎁 1st Gratitude Comment gets 100 Ecency points
🎁 2nd Gratitude Comment gets 90 Ecency points
🎁 3rd Gratitude Comment gets 80 Ecency points
🎁 4th Gratitude Comment gets 70 Ecency points
🎁 5th Gratitude Comment gets 60 Ecency points
But why gratitude?
Because gratitude is great for you. Being grateful can yield all sorts of benefits including:
- More restful sleep
- Better focus
- More patience
- Improved self esteem
- More positive moods
- Stronger relationships
(And many more)
And that's just from a scientific perspective. If you look at it in terms of the energy you put into the world and what you'd like to have returned to you, gratitude can encourage more good things to come your way. You don't have to believe it just because I (or anybody else) said so. Try it yourself with Graturday 😉. Here's how:
The Rules
- Leave a comment on this post about something you feel grateful for.
- Comments can be any length once they clearly convey what you feel grateful for.
- You can't pick everything or everyone so narrow it down to something or someone specific.
- You can't give the same comment more than once in a month if you want your entry to be eligible for prizes (but if you want to mention something multiple times per month alongside new things you feel grateful for that's fine too).
- You don't have to upvote or repost to enter but if you do, just know that you have my gratitude for that.
- You have until next week's Graturday post goes up to enter for this week ⏳.
What am I grateful for this week?
Today I cooked lunch and it was definitely edible. Borderline tasty, even. For many people that wouldn't seem like much of an accomplishment but I'm not a very good cook. Perhaps I'll add ‘learning to cook’ to my list of resolutions for 2025 but it wouldn't be the first year I've said that so I'm not making any promises just yet. And sadly there are no pictures of the meal because while it didn't taste bad, it wasn't exactly going to win any beauty contests 😂.
Alright! Now it's your turn. Please join in and let me know in the comments what you feel grateful for.
And have a Great Graturday!
