”Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” - John Milton
Welcome to Graturday Week Twelve!🎉
Every Saturday I invite anyone who happens to stumble upon this post to share something they feel grateful for. Aside from getting the chance to express your gratitude, you could also win one of the 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?
A few days ago I was in my yard leaning against one of my favourite trees for leaning on when I happened to glance upward into the branches of the tree right next to it (no more than an arm's length away). And I saw a snake. It was maybe three feet long but not much thicker than a pencil. Now up until that moment I had been worrying about several different things over which I have almost no control. Seeing that snake however, cleared all of that nonsense from my head instantly! Luckily it was harmless. I asked my husband to chase it away and we all went on with our lives but that incident helped me remember that I shouldn't waste moments worrying about that which I cannot change.
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!
