On days like today, I remember why I began to express gratitude because it’s the small things that we overlook when we’re blue. So, today I’m grateful for electricity, heat, and a warm, cozy house. I’m grateful for hot water, and how good it feels to be freshly showered and clean. I’m grateful for my favorite urban hangout, and even more grateful that I can afford to eat in a restaurant, and I’m grateful for people who are in my corner.

Dear Gratitude Journal :
I’m grateful for underpasses and overpasses. They are cool, and I’m sure there was some math involved. I’m grateful that charm is more than beauty, but no one knows that until you’re dumped for someone dull and better looking, and I’m grateful for my espresso machine.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
It’s very stressful to have to “correct misperceptions” in public. And, I’m grateful that I don’t have to do it often because no matter what you say or how you say it, people are…to some extent…pissy and unhappy. So, I’m grateful today is over.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
I’m grateful that the world is filled with people who are smarter than I…like all my doctors. I’m grateful that the world is filled with people who are not smarter than I….like my clients and my brother. And, I’m grateful that my grammar is precise enough to know it’s I and not me.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
I spent today finishing some small projects, and it reminded me of the many years when I had more time than money. I’m grateful that I used that time to buy tools, and teach myself to build and fix things. I’m grateful for all more tools; I love them so, and I’m grateful for my ability to throw things out.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
It was so a grey, cloudy day, the first in sometime, so I was grateful for the change. Quiet and somber; it’s as if everyone knows there’s only a few more months to accomplish our New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and save money. I’m grateful I worked late to reorganize some projects. And, I’m grateful to be hopeful.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
I’m grateful for alcohol. Few things in life are easier to make, and nothing takes the edge off a shitting day more effectively than a good, stiff drink. I’m grateful I haven’t wasted a second of my life living someone else’s life, and I’m grateful for canned tuna. IDKY, but when I eat it, I feel rich.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
I’m grateful that I’m not in my 20s. People want to look younger; no one wants to BE younger. I’m grateful that self-perception is subjective. I’m not sure what others see when they see me, but I’m grateful it’s not what I see.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
Today I’m grateful for acceptance. Like most people, I’ve thought about self-acceptance more than the acceptance of others. And because I love change and risk, I need to accept that I cannot change who people are, how they love, or their circumstances. Today, I understand that more fully and deeply than I have before, and even though I’m saddened by this defeat that understanding also make me feel free and at peace with the universe. I am very grateful.
The end.
Dear Gratitude Journal :
I’m grateful for chocolate. It’s one of life’s great pleasures. I’m grateful that I live in a place where leaving my house or car unlocked isn’t a problem. And, I’m grateful for the road less traveled. It has made all the difference.
