***The Gratitude Attitude Challenge***

-I am thankful for coffee which gives me that extra boost when I need to keep pushing
-I am thankful for living in a country that allows me so many freedoms
-I am thankful for language that allows us to communicate ideas to each other and to pass on knowledge from generation to generation.

 

1. I'm grateful for having enough money to afford Spotify premium.

2. I'm grateful to have a nice weekend job and have the opportunity to work with a very nice colleague.

3. I'm grateful for the meals i am able to enjoy everyday.

 

1. I'm grateful that I have extra spending money that allows me to travel to amazing places during time off work

2. I'm grateful for the caring, considerate and fair people that I can work with and that there are no major stressful situations associated with my work

3. I'm grateful that I've found nofap and that I am committed to a life of self improvement

 

Do you know ASL? It truly fascinates me...

 

1. I'm grateful that I have time off during the holiday and can devote my time to projects that will help further my career

2. I'm grateful for the gym I have in close proximity that allows me to blow off steam whenever needed

3. I'm grateful for all the thoughtful gifts given to me by my students this holiday season

 

1. I'm grateful for being able to feel. Love as well as pain.
2. I'm grateful for the sun providing fuel for life.
3. I'm grateful for being alive. Take a deep breath and feel yourself. Oh yeah! Are you smiling? You should be!

 

I'm learning some ASL now, just on my own. I'd like to take a class on it, but I haven't had the time yet. Maybe over the summer. It's always fascinated me. It's funny to say, but I actually learned quite a bit from the show Switched at Birth. haha it's a bit of a cheesy show, but I've picked up a lot from watching conversation. I like to use it in worship, so I've started learning some worship songs, which is giving me a larger vocabulary. I also have some flashcards I just remembered, but I've been slacking on using them! They're not as helpful, though, because most of the words aren't all that commonly used.

Edit: Also, ASL is a really unique, fun, and somewhat easy language to learn because it's pretty much the only language in which you can say something in English and ASL at the exact same time. It helps the brain make the connection better than, say, Spanish, where you have to say the translations separately. It's also a very intuitive language. You'd be surprised how many words in ASL you probably already know, just from using hand gestures in your everyday life.

 

Day 4:

1. I'm grateful for the dream I had this morning. (Described on my journal if you're interested... I don't want to explain it all again. lol) Learned some valuable stuff.

2. I'm grateful for my church family that I get to spend some time with tonight. Finding this place a few years ago was such a blessing, and I can't imagine going back to where I used to be.

3. I'm grateful for my heater! lol I mentioned it before but I don't think I put it on the official list yet. I'm a baby about being cold, and though our house doesn't have central heat, I'm grateful to have this lil guy next to me so I don't cry frozen tears.

 

1. I'm grateful to have a sweet dog.

2. I'm grateful to eat my favorite food today (fries) xD

3. I'm grateful to know how to meditate.

 

May your life be filled with happiness thus never experiencing "frozen tears." Stay strong! Win!

 

My achilles heel: Fries!
