If this is your first time here, this is what this giveaway is about: every Saturday (unless I'm late enough for it to be Sunday) 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 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

1. Leave a comment on this post about something you feel grateful for.
2. Comments can be any length as long as they clearly convey what you feel grateful for.
3. You can't pick everything or everyone, so narrow it down to something or someone specific.
4. 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.)
5. You don't have to upvote or repost to enter, but if you do, just know that you have my gratitude for that.
6. You have until next week's Graturday post goes up to enter for this week ⏳.

What am I grateful for this week?

I know a lot of people have concerns or complaints about ChatGPT but I'm very grateful for a special GPT called Universal Primer. It is an excellent teacher and it's been really helpful to me this past week as I work on some things I want to know more about. There are some concepts in music theory for instance that it cleared up for me in minutes that I had struggled with since childhood basically. So yeah, I'm grateful for that. Shoutout to the developer, Siqi Chen (you made something awesome 👏👏👏).

Okay, now it's your turn! Please join in and let me know in the comments what you felt grateful for this past week.

Have a Great Graturday/Grand Grunday!
