    Hi everyone,

    Time for some gratefulness to end the weekend on a positive note and hopefully begin the week ahead with a positive mindset. :D

    3 things I'm grateful for:

    1. Sharing the living abroad experience with my hilarious little brother
    2. The beautiful park around my home being my lockdown sanity
    3. The journal I've been keeping since 2016 helping me have important realisations about myself

    Good morning everyone,

    It's a beautiful day to practice gratefulness and set ourselves to a positive mindset for the week ahead.

    Three things I'm grateful for:

    1) Long walks in spring's wonderful weather
    2) Handling a complicated situation better than I expected
    3) Friends that have become a chosen family

    Hi Everyone,
    Three things I am grateful for today:-
    1. Making a decision NOT to gamble today
    2. Joining you all instead and doing all the self help units on this site.
    3. For being able to find the strength to not share my latest gambling disaster with my family since this would just receive me of some guilt but cause them great pain.
