Please feel free to humble brag (or just brag)
I am very grateful for the peaceful environment I have created for myself. I tend to take it for granted because it’s just my normal way of life now, but there was a time when all I wished for was a safe place to sleep and a job that didn’t make me want to self delete. I have so much more now. I live all my days free of chaos, just at home in the mountains, working part time and spending the rest of the time chillen with my dogs and the butterflies in my garden. I smoke a lil smoke but I don’t party like a rockstar. There are definitely aspects of my life that could be better (mainly the political state of my country right now) but overall I personally am doing a lot better than I give myself credit for.
I delivered an eight hour lecture. When I was done the students actually applauded. I almost cried.
I had a lot of fun with some new friends today and I’m feeling good :)
I’m grateful for my husband, who tirelessly puts up with all of my crazy. I’m so fucking glad he’s around.
We’re all mad down here!
My job at Amazon and the opportunity to make my life better.
Similar. As much as I disdain my current employment for being intellectual dead end – or I can’t seem to make on intellectually fulfilling – I’m grateful I still have a job that can sustain me comfortably

My boys. My wife. These are the people who give my life meaning.
Me too!
I’ve been wading through a swamp of misery lately - just a lot of pressure from work.
Every morning I try to think of 5 things that I’m grateful for, or to look forward to.
My kids are always high on that list because exactly as you said, they make it all mean something.

That I was able to take a nice nap since I strained my trapezius muscle pretty bad two days ago in a way that my head feels like it’s not on right. If I turn my head even slightly while lying on my back it feels like I’m twisting my neck too far even though I’m not because my traps are so tight. Sore to the touch and I’m not quite sure what started it but I think it’s getting better!
Was working on an issue for a customer and couldn’t figure something out. Ian offered to rubber duck it with me and we got it figured out. I am grateful for Ian.
I had a soft shell crab poboy and saw Morris Day and The Time today. We don’t have a lot of pessimism in New Orleans for a reason.
Very grateful for the warm and sunny weather. Going to sleep now with my skin full of sunshine
I’m grateful that when my dinner decided not to stay down that it at least was in a hurry to get out and I could stop feeling like shit in a couple minutes instead of lingering nausea for like an hour with no movement like normal. It’s the little things.
Attended a conference today and got to take home 3 swag shirts and lots of food that would’ve otherwise been thrown away.
I managed to go from not even knowing what topic to write about for a uni assignment to getting the whole thing done in about 3 hours, luckily the second task was mostly about reformatting the first one
