    1. I'm grateful for my clients at work -- every single one of them. Sure, they irritate me at times, but they also pay my salary and allow me to live the life that I have.

    2. I'm grateful to have a place to live. The nights are starting to get cooler here (although it never really gets that cold where I live) and tonight there's a nasty wind blowing. I'll sleep in my comfortable bed and not worry about it.

    3. I'm grateful to have access to good food. I just ate some grapes and an orange, I have bananas sitting there ready to eat next. I have vegetables and some lovely salmon to cook up tonight. There are many people in the world who don't have enough to eat, and many others who have to put up with food that might not be so good for them. I am very fortunate.

    1. I'm grateful that suffering is not permanent. We all go through rough times. But they pass. They always pass. Thank the heavens they do!
    2. I'm grateful for the potential to improve myself. There's always a chance to make things better for yourself, to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again.
    3. I'm grateful for the nice dinner that my awesome room-mates cooked. They are such good people. I'm so lucky to have them in my life.

    * I'm grateful for music.

    * I'm grateful for human creativity.

    1. I'm grateful for the opportunity to experience another 24 hours. I promise to crush the day.
    2. I'm grateful for the breath. It keeps me alive.
    3. I'm grateful for clean water. Countless numbers of our fellow humans perish every day from unclean water.

    1. I'm grateful to finally be home. It was a long day and a lot of little things seemed to go wrong, but I'm still here at the end of it. Tomorrow will be better.

    2. I'm grateful that I managed to get a dragonfruit today. I love these things!

    3. I'm grateful that my hairdresser is open on Wednesday evenings. It saves me the trouble of trying to find time to get my hair cut on the weekend.

    1. I am greatful to have a loving,caring family who are always there to comfort me when I am going through hard times.

    2. I am greatful to have enough money that I can afford to have food and do not go hungry to bed. Many fellow beings die from hunger around the world.

    3. I am greatful that I have have air conditioners in my home. Many people are dying here due to extreme temperature (45 'C).

    4. I am thankful to @BushidoWarrior for creating this thread. It reminds me to acknowledge the blessings of God

    * I'm grateful for my coworkers. Everybody I know at work are kind and supportive.

    * When I got home today, a guy held the elevator for me. I was outside and wasn't very close to the elevator yet when he started holding it for me, so I wouldn't have blamed him if he went up with it. So him holding it for me was really kind, I'm grateful to him for doing that. (And of course I thanked him irl, now I'm doing it here too).

    * I'm grateful that when we become adults, most of us learn to treat each other in a nice and respectful way.

    Day 30 - Had biology test next day ( today ), so i didn't even think of posting

    Day 31

    1 month of posting what I'm greatful for ...

    I mean ...

    Some days i didn't post so wasn't really a month :)

    It is really interesting that a lot of stuff i have or are handed to me i just think "that is supposed to happen"

    I couldn't be farther from the truth.

    A lot of people don't have half of the stuff i mentioned. And gladly i have. But somehow, even after a month, part of my brain still thinks "this is all natural, it is suppose to happen". I guess i can say ... I'm grateful for my stupidity :p

    But anyways even though the challenge was 31 days, i ll just keep doing this, just because i can :)

    1) I'm grateful that i got to day 31 on the gratitude attitude challenge ( even though i missed some days )

    2) I'm grateful that i did the biology test

    3) I'm grateful that i can FINALLY have a decent night of sleep ...

    1. I'm grateful for changing seasons. People complain about the weather all the time, but I love the variety. The same thing goes for travel to different climatic regions of the world.

    2. I'm grateful that I got a good run through a notoriously bad series of traffic lights this evening. A small thing, but I appreciated it.

    3. I'm grateful for my health. It gives me the opportunity to do so many things, to travel to so many places and have some seriously awesome experiences.

    * I'm grateful for the metaphor/expression "put the oxygen mask on yourself first, then you can help others". I have to take care of my own mental health now and I'm not really in a place where I can give very useful advice/guiding to others in that area. Hopefully I will be able to build a better, more stable mental health. And then I would love to help others. But I'm not there now. So I'm grateful for that metaphor/expression/lesson.

    * I'm grateful for the expression "crabs in a bucket". If you put one crab in a bucket it will probably manage to climb out, but if you put several crabs in a bucket they will drag each other down and no one will get out of the bucket. That teaches us a valuable lesson. We shouldn't be dragging each other down, we should be supportive to others because that will benefit us.

    * I spoke to a friend on the phone today, I'm grateful to have him as a friend. He's a very kindhearted guy.

    Day 32

    1) I'm grateful that i didn't suffer a lot from diarrhea today ( my belly is hurting since last night sleeping, but it wasn't in agony ... maybe just a bit :) ). Although it felt like i was pooping water ( sorry for the mental image ), it didn't hurt a lot like other days.

    2) I'm grateful that I'm a VERY calm and patient person. My friend told me that he was arguing a lot with his mother, and told me she has a very explosive personality. He has also as very explosive personality, so that ain't good. Gladly, I'm very calm, as my mother has also very explosive personality ( i could do the most insignificant thing ever, and she would start saying the most fucked up things to me ). Gladly i ignore those things because if not ... i would be very sad :D

    3) I'm grateful that i went to the classes in the afternoon. I have a terrible headache since the morning, and i wanted to poop, right in the moment i was supposed to go to classes ( i lunch at home ). Gladly, i finished the deal with time to go :)

    1. I'm grateful to music. Listening to a little-known band called Gersey right now. Love it.

    2. I'm grateful to a particular co-worker, who I won't name here. She's helping me a lot on this journey, without even realising it. Our conversations help me have non-sexual interactions with females, and that's something I need to cultivate.

    3. I'm grateful for mountains. Tomorrow I'll get on my bike and show them some real love.

    * I'm grateful because I get to go on a job interview on Tuesday! My current job is temporary and last until mid-June. So this is great!

    * I'm grateful that it seems like a fun job.

    * I'm grateful for a pack of tortilla chips I ate yesterday and today. Probably not the healthiest thing to put in my body, and it was really hard to stop eating them. But man, they were good. So I'm grateful for them.

    * A neighbor is having a loud party now, but it's a Saturday night so that's perfectly alright. It's usually calm and quiet here where I live. I'm grateful for that.

    * I can see hills and trees outside of my windows, that's nice. I'm grateful for that.

    * I'm grateful for birds that fly outside my windows, they give me something interesting to look at.
