Hey Queens, I thought I would offer an invitation for a space for gratitude:
A gratitude thread.
I don't know about you, but I find the hate and all the ish in the world, and especially online, can feel pretty immense at the moment.
I find it really helpful to take a break from that, and intentionally note down some things we're grateful for on a regular basis. Some people do this in their journal every day, for example.
So this is a thread to rest in from time to time, or daily if you wish, to create space for that positive energy so we can expand that in our lives. (Note, this is not about gaslighting/bypassing away any of the BS/pain, but rather providing a separate time and space to focus on the good). It can be little everyday mundane things, or maybe things that don't happen very often. It's your choice how exactly you'd like to use this thread and show up here, as long as you understand the intention.
You could, for example, list one thing, 5, 10, or more things that you're grateful for at the time of posting.
You may also like to include a prayer (in print, or verbally) if that suits you in any way. This space is not specific to any religion or spiritual practice, I just include that for those for whom that resonates and is useful. This is not about 'flexing', bragging, or celebrating wins (also a very valuable thing - maybe another post for that!), but more so a space to dwell in gratitude. More on the soulful, spiritual/heart space side of things. I hope that this helps to amplify your gratitude and joy.
And may we all witness, and be reminded of, the abundance that is always available to us, in big, and small, ways.
Today I'm grateful for:
Being part of a forum of likeminded women who are able to express themselves
A quiet day at work (so far)
Thick fluffy socks
My hobosexual housemate finally moving out today 🙌
Today I feel grateful for: - My amazing friends - The nice breakfast I had - Having gone to the gym yesterday and feeling juuuust a bit sore today (I'm getting stronger!) - Having had the energy to completely deep clean my room yesterday (it feels much nicer now) - Being able to cook my own meals from scratch. - Having a job I like with nice coworkers! - Having my country be at peace and able to take in refugees. The toll of the invasion in Ukraine has been felt even here, and it gives me pause whenever it crosses my mind. It's not something we can take for granted.
I’m grateful to God to be in the land of the living. I’m grateful for: my peaceful beautiful home and the fact I’m surrounded by nature and wonderful pets. my job and the people I work for. All my needs are met. I am of service to people who need help. Inspiration by the HG Learning from the past and gaining self awareness
I definitely needed to sit in that space of gratitude today bc it really is the little things 🙏💫
Today I feel grateful for:
This space!
My comfy bed
My never ending fuel of rage that gets me out of my comfy bed
My friends
Beans 😋 💓
What a beautiful idea! Thank you for starting this OP 🥰 - I’m grateful to God for my health, being born a woman, family and life. - I’m grateful to be travelling with my sister and being fortunate to have this quality time with her - I’m grateful to have a slow morning to start my day, to be in the present - I’m grateful to be born as I am. And to keep reminding myself I am valuable and wonderful as I am not what I can do ❤️
I'm greateful for this thread 💜
i'm greateful for finding a good job, very close to my dream job, after so many years feeling like a f-ing loser, depression, hopelessness, being broke... ever since i got this job i just feel so happy and i think mt life is finally going somewhere.
therefore, i'm greatful to myself because i kept trying despite the difficulties. i refused another job offer because i believed i deserved better, and now i'm in a very good place. thank you, me!
i'm also greateful for my privileges, which have allowed me to make choices many people can't make because they simply don't have the same options (or the consequences are much worse for them).
i'm greateful for making the wrong choices that taught me how to make better choices regarding dating. i like who i've become. an emotionaly independent woman who is perfectly happy alone and loves herself. it's been a hell of journey!
i'm really greateful for FDS and all the work put into it. it's a safe place, it's female centered, we're allowed to rant and vent, and i learn soooo much from all the women here. this is the best place on the internet, no doubt!
I'll start us off :). Today I feel gratitude for: • The enormous amount of laughter I have been having over the last few days thanks to the funny and talented comedy and comedians I have been watching
• Having got some much needed sunshine • Having been able to catch up on sleep the last few nights :)
• Rest
• Food
• Ice-cream 🧡🙏🏼🌅😊
This is a good idea! Things are bad right now, so it’s hard to remember to appreciate the things that are going right in our lives. I’m thankful for a job that allows me to schedule work around my chronic health conditions, my current low-stress living situation, the fuzzy gremlin that I share my apartment with (she’s high-maintenance, but cute), and my small circle of close friends who share a lot of my views on things. And of course, that I found FDS.
I'm grateful now & today for: • time and space. I just nourished up with 2 hrs of sound bathing and some gentle stretching. Riding through a storm at the moment and sooo grateful for the window to slow down, breathe and be gentle. • grateful for my capacity to pull back from all the hate atm, and stop, think, and delete before i press send! I don't have to engage with all the fires. I get to protect my peace. Thankful for the pause and think. lol. • no matter what happens tomorrow, I've done the best I can up til this point. i am grateful to myself for this, and to all that life has afforded me. May peace fill every corner of my life. My my life be guided and led by the light of love and benevolence and positive life force. May I be protected, supported, and loved, always in all ways. May peace fill every corner of my life.
