Today I Am Thankful For…

by Olivia

Something thats really important to me, and something I like to remind people of is the good things they have in life. I especially like to do this when I’m having a rough time, it really helps to put things into perspective. Being thankful in the mist of a bad time or a bad period of mental health is something I really cling to, to help me feel better.

So today I thought I would spread some positivity in the internet world and came up with the idea of this post. I want this post to be a hub of positivity. Where we all come together to share the things we are grateful for in life, and so we can encourage and remind each other of the good things we have.

I’ll list 10 things I’m thankful for this week and I then want you to go to the comment section and list as many things as you like, that you are thankful for too.

1. God
2. Good Relationships
3. Downtime
4. A job that I love
5. Exciting opportunities
6. Good Mental Health
7. Unexpected Blessings
8. A Loving healthy family
9. Clean running water
10. Technology

Here is my list. I actually could have done a-lot more than 10, but thought I’d share just a few with you. Thats the power of being thankful, you often sit there thinking you have nothing to be grateful for but once you start writing you often could keep going and going. It really helps to put you in a positive mindset.

I appreciate and are aware that I don’t know the situation you are in currently, but I think no matter the situation there is always something good in amongst the bad, even if you cant see it right now. There will always be unkind, ugly and negative situations that happen in life. I think its up to us how we react to them.

What are you thankful for? Add your list to the comments and share with us!

  13. I love this post. This is my virtual hug to you🤗🤗🤗

    You are right, once you start writing you realise you have a lot to be thankful for than you initially thought. Mine is mostly same with yours. Having clean water, can we appreciate this enough.

    I feel like over the last couple of months I have been especially blessed to have God because sometimes you just need miracles in life when everything else seems bleak. Xx

  15. Ah what a great little affirmation for a Sunday morning (because that’s when I’m reading this 😋). It’s important to be thankful for the simple pleasures in life.
    I agree with you wholeheartedly. In fact, it’s what my post today is about too – great minds think alike they say 😋

  16. Many times each day, I thank God for one blessing or another. He has been good to me, and I am grateful for each new day He gives me. I am thankful I have a place to live, food to eat, water to drink, and a life to live in His service. I try to reflect Him in all that I do for I am thankful He allows me to do every day! Blessings!

  18. I have to say that in my life right now is more bad than good things but it’s good to give a moment to find some positive things also.
    1. My partner (who’s always there)
    2. Food (we still have food even we don’t have much money-partly because of corona)
    3. Apartment (we usually take this for granted but there is many homeless people in the world)
    4. My mom (we couldn’t see for a while because she’s in hospital and we have this corona pandemic but she’s always been there for me. I miss her but thank God she’s still quite ok)
    5. Friends (even though couldn’t see for a while)
    6. Time for relax (now on corona time I have had more my own time cause I’ve worked less)
    7. Clean water (this is one of the things I’m greatfull to be Finn!)
    These are what came in to my mind right now.
