  • i’m grateful for the incredibly delicious dinner we had today. korean bbq :orange_heart:
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i put lots of initial buffer on two new goals i just created. the monthly resolution goal needs to start today, obviously, but “3 new goals in one day” is a Very Bad No Good Don’t Do It Can’t Recommend idea, so i’ve opted for the slightly more preferable “1 new goal today, the other 2 new goals in two-ish weeks” variation …
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i started a difficult thing at work today, reminding me that it really isn’t that annoying, in the end. :) (still have to finish it, but we’ll get through that in time.^^)

  1. SGQ: I delivered some pamphlets for The Greens party on my way home.
  2. The Greens volunteer who is arranging the letter drops was kind enough to let me pick up mine from his house instead of their office, which was much more convenient for me.
  3. There is a hill in my neighbourhood that is SO steep. It makes for excellent exercise.

  • i’m grateful i got to know a baby today! he’s so small and so young and so wonderful and i love him. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: (i’ve never really had any young children in my life, except when i still was one, so watching him grow up [i’m friends with the parents] is going to be very fun and very interesting. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:)

  1. Helped put in a bunch of fenceposts for a fence to help keep the cats safe. We put in a dozen in the morning, all by hand, and it was extremely satisfying to do all the manual labour.

  3. Dates have come through for next art class - excited about that!

Great thread! It’s great seeing the many possible things we can be grateful for (and the many things I take for granted in my life).

  • I’m glad I found this thread because it reminded me that I should consider restarting my gratitude journal habit.

Hi @wzwy ! Welcome!


  1. Fishtrout’s How To Be A Dragon webtoon. From what I’ve read of it so far, it’s mostly about two young dragons, one of whom loves frogs, and it’s utterly adorable.
  2. I especially love the facial expressions on the pink dragon (Hopper) in New Hoard. You can see EXACTLY what Hopper is thinking.
  3. self-gratitude: I spent an hour in the garden first thing today tidying up around the front fence. (With any luck, I’ll be getting some yard signs for The Greens party to display for our upcoming council election.)

  1. Focusmate helping me actually do what I sit down to do.
  2. Even though he’s quitting the group, a member of our static is willing to come along tonight so we can still raid without me having to scramble to find a substitute.
  3. Feeling like writing is fun! I’m not consistent about it but it’s always nice when an idea comes along.
