What are you grateful for today?

[Lunaseraphim]

I see a lot of negativity in this forum and I want to lighten up the atmosphere I've taken the habit of writing gratitude lists every day or every other day to remind myself of what I have and what makes me happy. We live on a strange planet and there's a lot of hardship we all have to experience but there's also so much beauty.

Here is a list of things i am grateful for today:

-my friends, i saw a friend i hadn't seen in a while today and it was lovely and planned other hang outs with different friends
-i saw some kittens today
-my cat
-i live in a relatively safe place
-my creativity & imagination
-i am in a safe position financially at least for now
-i'm healthy and fit physically
-the weather is really nice and it's the summer and the summer is far from being over
-i've been trying new foods lately
-receiving nice gifts from clients
-long bookings
-being able to support my friends when they need help
-i got lots of cool clothes & lingerie lately
-i have air conditioning
-flowers and raspberry bushes
-watching movies
-great music
-i got a new winter coat thanks to a gentleman who sent me a gift card. the old one was dirty and stained from an experience i dont want to remember

what about you?

I don't make lists but I routinely remind myself of all of the good things in life. Dwelling on the negative things that can't be controlled serves no purpose.

- despite some significant challenges I am alive. I had a car accident that should have killed me. I have permanent reminders of the accident but I am here.
- I will always be grateful for my family, friends, and my pets. I am so lucky in these areas of life
- Music helps keep my grounded. There is nothing like going to concerts and I am looking forward to the remainder of my summer shows
- And you always have to be thankful for the basics...a roof over my head and food on the table. Speaking of food...I love food so I have to be thankful for that
- A glass or two of good bourbon/whiskey at the end of a day

I love trying all kinds of food from different cultures. Good food is good food. Anything from Michelin star restaurants to food trucks. One of my favorite things in life is my trips to Maine. A lobster roll and clam chowder while sitting by the ocean!

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music. As a teenager I was a pot smoking hippie (but clean cut) so I really got into jam bands and psychedelic/improvisational music. Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead, Phish, Pink Floyd, etc. My current jam band of choice is Goose. I have two of their concerts I am going to in September. I like specific artists in every genre from blues, bluegrass, classic rock, 80's new wave stuff, 90s and 2000s alternative/grunge. I like a lot of other stuff but it just isn't one type of music.

Today I am grateful for...

-An upcoming duo with Luna later this week
-My dinner, which was amazing lol (made linguine chicken tetrazzini)
-My aesthetician, she's so nice and understanding. Had to cancel a service last minute today and I really had to push for her to take my money (I paid in full despite cancelling).
-My two best friends. They're my rocks and I love them so much.

5. The job I have

Today, I'm grateful for not buying the car I almost bought a few days ago. It was one hell of a car but I didn't really need it. Looks like I'm getting more mature... finally lol

I'm also grateful today for not getting into any accident all these years while riding my motorcycle, which I just sold. I briefly thought of replacing it with a manual sports car, but it will wait a bit.

Grateful for the lady walking in front of me last night in the summer dress with the sun in the right position. Another reason to walk the dogs

Grateful for my family,

It's inspiring, for real.

I'm grateful for new music coming out sooner than later (can't share here for anonymity lol but if it's meant to reach you, trust that it will)...

I'm grateful for awareness. Both self and just in general

I'm grateful for my routines that haven't been in place, but the reminder of their existence provides me with goals

I'm grateful for coffee

I'm grateful for morning wood

I'm grateful for family and friends

I'm grateful for music and live concerts both recent and upcoming

I'm grateful for YOU (yes, you)
