Gratitude: A Personal Story
Last autumn, the days grew shorter, the light changed, and everything inside me felt a little heavier.
Deadlines piled up. My inbox overflowed. My energy flickered. And one evening, I asked myself a small, stubborn question:
Could gratitude be more than a buzzword? Could it be an anchor?
🌻 Pocket Pebble Practice
I slipped a river stone into my coat pocket. Each time I found it, I named one thing keeping me afloat:
A warm mug.
A kind text.
The smell of cinnamon.
Tiny. Tactile. Grounding.

🌼 Bedside Three
Before sleep, I opened a journal and wrote three things I was grateful for.
Some nights, it was simple:
Clean sheets.
Working Wi-Fi.
Breath.

🌺 Thank‑You Out Loud
Once a week, I voiced gratitude out loud:
To the barista who remembered my name.
To my sister for listening without fixing.
To myself, for making it through the day.
Saying it made it real. Not performative—relational.

💭 Gentle Reminder
Gratitude doesn’t erase what’s hard. But it lights a candle next to it. It reminds us that the world is still soft in places.
Both light and shadow belong. 🌙
