Gratitude journaling together

  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i went on a walk tonight, making sure i wouldn’t derail on my steps goal.
  • i’m grateful i don’t really have any big plans for tomorrow.
  • i’m grateful i only have the simpler homework left to do until next weekend.

Hi; hope latecomers are ok!

  1. My country’s stable economic situation - I’m in Argentina right now and it’s really sad to see such a beautiful country consumed by their horrible exchange rate and inflation issues. Definitely have been taking my cushy conditions at home for granted…
  2. My girlfriend cooked dinner for me tonight and it was delicious and we’re in an awesome mood! Super happy because we’ve been up and down a little lately
  3. Beeminder exists!

  • i’m grateful i was able to catch up a lot on sleep last night.
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i started taking gratitude notes throughout the day again. otherwise how would i be supposed to remember now, in the middle of the night, that i had been able to catch up on sleep last night, more than twelve hours ago?? not a chance XD
  • i’m grateful my flatmate and i finally got to play a boardgame today.

  3. Will finally get to see (in person) the memorial bench set up in my grandfather’s name in the park he used to take me to.

  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i dealt with all* of my beemos before going out today. (*all but the one, my steps goal, which i knew i’d easily meet by the time i’d be back home.)
  • i’m grateful i remembered to stop by someplace on my way home today.
  • i’m grateful that we had a lot of laughs today.
  1. Grandad’s bench is lovely, and somebody had left a free book (wrapped in plastic with a note) for anyone to take. (I didn’t; I’ve read it.)
  2. Lisa helped me figure out where my other grandparents’ grave is (I’ve only been there three times before) and I left some chrysanthemums there, and cleaned up some icky plastic people had left blowing in the wind that’d got caught in the plants on it.
  3. We’re all set to depart Cardiff on time. Hopefully our drive home will be less terrible than the drive here.

  • i’m grateful we had so much fun tonight.
  • i’m grateful that tomorrow is a holiday.
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful that i suggested to walk all the way home tonight. one and a half hours, but it didn’t rain and wasn’t freezing, and it has the added bonus of almost already fully completing my steps goal only a few hours after midnight :)

  2. I got plenty of Welsh postcards so when Postcrossers are interested in touristy cards, I can share some of my favourite places. (Like Castell Coch and Caerphilly Castle!)
  3. We serendipitously found a cheese stall selling some local cheese we remember very fondly from when I lived in Wales. We’re going to eat some of it this evening!
