GM anons. If you were lucky enough to open your eyes this morning and still have breath in your lungs, that's the first thing worth being grateful for, and it only gets better from there.
When you roll over and see your wife or husband, be grateful. When your kids come dragging into the kitchen looking for breakfast, be grateful for them and for the fact that there's something to put in front of them. Same with the job. Some mornings it's hard to feel it, but having a career you get to go work at is a gift plenty of people would take in a heartbeat.
And when you open Nostr and see all the folks you've gotten to know on here, or you pick up something new you didn't know yesterday, or you've got a few options sitting in front of you instead of none, be grateful for that too. Somewhere out there today somebody woke up without any of it.
I'm as guilty as anyone of moaning and groaning about whatever's wrong that day, and there's usually something. But when I take a few minutes after my feet hit the floor to remember what I've been given, I end up with a lot more gratitude than I deserve.
We're all in this life thing together whether we like it or not. We can encourage and hold each other up, or we can do what the rest of the world does and tear each other apart. I'll take the first one. So be grateful today, and go encourage somebody while you're at it. The world's merciless enough as it is, so we might as well be as civil to each other as we can.
