What are you grateful for this week?

[Anonymous]

I had a few challenges this week but I am grateful for the following:

• I still have a good paying professional job. Lately I am getting tons more crap to do but at least it shows I’m valuable. Most of my coworkers are good people too. Some are a pain in the ass but others are helpful and decent people. I’m also fortunate to have a good boss which is rare
• The days are getting longer and slightly warmer. I live in a cold state but spring isn’t too far away.
• Having supportive friends for some tough things I’m going through.
• Getting good news about a relative who is recovering from a severe injury due to a violent crime.
• I have had some engagement with a few women on dating apps. I don’t have time or money to go out and actively “socialize” and bs right now. But I did have an unexpected pleasant experience last week when a young lady I matched on bumble came by my place. It was good mental escape from the grind I’m in.
• Having a side hustle opportunity to make more residual income.

It takes mental effort at first to think of something to be positive about. Negativity has insidious way of being “more authentic” which is usually an exaggeration and at other times a huge lie. Plus misery loves company. There is a sneaky way people “bond” over negativity. You see it all the time with gossiping. But it’s self limiting.

I have excellent health, although having lost several friends and relatives to disease, I have a good income, great work associates, and a good environment to live in. Now own my home, outright. Since divorce, I have had a few partners, but none now, but not worried about that, as I just have not made the effort to 'get out there', and look at this point. I enjoy the 'friends' I have on this site, and they humor they exude, and insight into many things, and that a a thing I enjoy,
I have my YOGA friends and am grateful for a place of peace I can go to and take care of myself physically and mentally.

Thanks for the opportunity to express this.

[Asker]

That’s awesome!

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I'm thankful that I made good money thus week and next week is looking pretty good.

My little brother is getting a job this week. Been getting worried about him lately. I've been setting a pretty bad example for him lately but I'm glad he's trying.

My phone won't charge through the cable anymore and AT&T is doing a promotion where I can trade this one in to get a new one for free which is kinda bananas.

Weather is chilly, which means I get to rotate through my jacket collection.

My friend moved close to me again so it kinda got an old group back together which has been pretty awesome.

[Asker]

Overall that’s good stuff!

[Dana223]

maybe unpopular answer: got my period this Monday, and dealing with it ever since -- means I'm not pregnant! 😋

[Asker]

That must be a relief.

[Stressyalaire]

That I put a newbie at ease guiding him through a new task at work.

[Asker]

That’s really cool. Some people get off on the power trip of making a new persons job difficult. But you were patient and took the higher road. They will remember you for that.

[Stressyalaire]

I get off on them smiling at understanding everything and doing it right 🥰

[Asker]

👍👍👍

[Guy13]

I am thankful for small things such good sleep, clear conscience, good Business partners all goal driven, and not without Hope that bridges this violent in every way hell hole into Eternity, not depressed from a hollowed emptiness that stuff and people do not fill-been there though..

[Asker]

Good stuff!

[libsaretards]

I'm thankful for having a supporting chain of command at my work. I've had to call out sick more than I like lately. I'm so used to being judged by other jobs for using my sick days that it feels wrong to use them now. I showed up to work tonight, tried my best to get through my shift but just was too sick to do so. When I clocked out, I apologized to my sergeant and he told me to not apologize and to take care of myself first so I can be the badass officer he has seen me be. This outlook from a supervisor is so rare in any workplace.

[Wade12345]

Thankful for the woman I'm talking to in private on here. She's a good woman. God bless her.

[Asker]

Awesome!

[sheenagwapa]

i have gift of prophecy and God is connecting to me cia dreams

[Wade12345]

I do too, sometimes. I don't undrestand what God is doing with that to this day.

Last night, I dreamed that my aunt Nelda passed away. It's strange because she would be much younger than most women on her side of the familly if she passed away any time soon.

[Asker]

I got a wake up call about that last night. Researched some negative NDEs and it made me think twice about some of recent bad behavior.

[Jltakk]

That I have a great job. The stray cats I care for. Thats about it, everything else is my life is a wreck.

[Asker]

It may sound cliche but it’s not. Never forget the positive.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It being nicer out some days this week for me to go on walks, being closer to my recovery, and I have a new nephew. As well as me doing more hobbies & interests.

[Paul09]

Good friends and the weekend! I write in a gratitude journal daily. I'm grateful for everything in my life that's good.

[Asker]

Excellent!

[Asker]

Journals are amazing if you are self disciplined enough to be consistent.

[msc545]

Getting some very difficult-to-find and expensive medication for a friend who was badly in need.

[Asker]

Nice work!

[Blackcupcake]

I’m grateful that I am alive and able to make a change

[Moose304]

Same thing I am grateful for every day! That I did NOT wake up this morning to find my OBIT in my morning newspaper!

[DorothyJenson46]

I've made42,000usd so far last year working online. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it.. .. go to this site's home tab for more details...

Making adjustments to my new schedule. First 2 weeks of the new semester were alright, but without good management the rest is going to be extremely crowded and stressful.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I'm still in remission and things seem to be picking at my mood has been. Other than that, not much. Still plenty to be upset over if I think about it.

[Asker]

I am sorry to hear about that.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Oh well, such is life.

[Asker]

And you do have life

[LiamJHayden]

I made it through Hell Time, 1630 to 1700 Friday, when clients LOVE to call just before closing for the weekend with expedites, without a call.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Not throwing up or having a literal brain aneurysm. Also the reason to why I’ve been feeling wacky isn’t anything serious and easily fixable.

[Anonymous]

I'm grateful to still have my girlfriend, but that's all I have to be grateful for in this eternal suffering of an existence

[Asker]

She’s dating you because she sees something in you. Just remember that.

[Opinion Owner]

She's with me because I treat her with kindness, loyalty, and respect. All she's known before is betrayal, rudeness, and condescension

[Asker]

And is that a bad thing?

[Nominal]

For freetime, having all day till tomorow 8:00 🤣

[Puppystarfish23]

Having good friends

[Agape93]

Not much

[Asker]

There has to be something.

[Agape93]

My loved ones didn't die

[Asker]

Thats actually a very true reality for me right now. I have a relative who was a victim in a violent crime three weeks ago. He did absolutely nothing wrong either. He was just an innocent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. But he is recovering which I am VERY grateful for.

[Agape93]

Thats good to hear

[Asker]

Yep. It didn’t look like he was going to make it 2 weeks ago but in the last week he has drastically improved.

[Agape93]

Good. I wish him well

[the-mad-german]

not really

[Asker]

Nothing at all?

[the-mad-german]

nope

[Asker]

Tell me you at least laughed once about something this week? Also are you a native German? I visited Germany back in summer of 2021.

[Asker]

Saw your profile. Honestly I was overall very impressed with your country back when I visited. I know no country is perfect. But you do live in a good country.

[the-mad-german]

All that's left impressing in my country is a reminder of the great past. The present is decline and the future looks dire... you probably didn't notice that as a visitor.
And yes i laughed several times...

[Asker]

Yeah I heard about issues with the economy. Also the Russia Ukraine war isn’t helping with fuel costs.

Anyway I did respect how organized and clean Germany was compared to (most) parts of the USA. But you are right about me needing to spend more time to see the truth.
