Realizing taking happiness for granted Just opened up my mind that we/me took (not just happiness) but a lot of things for granted but It doesn't really make us happy

Let us all be grateful for all the things we have in life.

In 2013 my family had a big jar and a pad of paper, every time something made us happy, we'd write it down in our own colored pen (one color for each family member) then fold the paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the year you open the jar and read all the slips of paper. I nicknamed it "the jar of happy". :)

I am grateful for the energy that sustains this planet, I am grateful for the ecosystem of the planet and all it's wisdom which we understand and all it's wisdom that we do not understand.

I am grateful for the clean air, the bugs, the trees, the rivers, the forests, and valleys.

Thank you, EL HAYYIM, God of Life, who brought forth all the myriad forms of this universe as an expression of divine love, and thank you for causing it's beauty to be so much it overflows our senses.

Hashem, I am grateful to truly see the incredible divine reality all around me constantly, and appreciate it for what it is. I see love, soft and fluid, incorruptible and endless, underlying all things. A mystic poem touches the heartbeat of our reality as loving joy rather than pain and sadness. Such a recording effects our lives forever more and throughout generations.

I am grateful to have adhered to the path of Hesed, and to have accepted the unlimited light within my soul, torn through the oppressive grid of mundane life, and found sincerity in return to Eden.

Thank you, God, with buddha wisdom, and heavenly means, who ensures the healthy spirits in us be ever strengthening, not waning. Hashem, you make immortality easy and not distant.

Thank you for being celestial/cute. Thank you for making everyone comfortable.

I've started a gratitude journal a while ago, it's amazing how I forget about complaining..I am MUCH happier

[abnormalusername]

I would recommend writing a little note about good things that happen to you everyday, or a few times a week, and putting them all in a little jar so at the end of the year, you can remember all the good things that happen to you!=]
I started mine during the new year but you can start now if you want!

[enriquegallardo]

I feel lucky and grateful to have found this video, thanks!

[SunnyShineGirl]

The best form of gratitude is to pray and thank God, because all good things come from Him.
