happy belated birthday, dear Holly ✨and I love the fact that you went on a solo date on your birthday, what a wonderful mindful way to celebrate just you 🎉

also your gratitude list sounds very relatable..reminds me to write down things I am grateful for more often.

Thanks so much Claudia! I love doing something special on my birthday, I always take the day off work if it's not at the weekend. 😁 Gratitude really does make life better I think, I'm much happier when I reflect on all the things, people and experiences I'm lucky to have. 💖

Me and two of my childhood friends, we're now in our late 40s, text nearly every day in a group chat at least three things we're grateful for. One of my friends is a recovering alcoholic and started the process as part of her steps to sobriety. I look forward to those everyday!

That's such a lovely practice to share together Dawn-Renée, and I bet it strengthens your connection even more. 💖

It does! Especially because we don't live close to each other.

Happy belated birthday to a fellow Sagittarius 🏹😉 funnily enough it's my birthday on Tuesday and we're off to the NHM to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year! ☺️ I have a post scheduled to come out that day, counting my birthday blessings, they are a great time to reflect ❤️ Like you, I'd like to have a more regular gratitude practice. Thanks for sharing, sounds like a lovely week of celebrations! 🥳

As you might remember, I just finished Positively Present's [hashtag] gratitude 30. I've been doing this for years. I also did a 365 days gratitude challenge on IG for many years. So, you can see I'm a big fan! And I'm happy to see your awesome list ✨

I've messed about with a daily gratitude since I journal every morning for - you guessed it - years, but never hit the right feeling surrounding it until I stopped writing 1-3 and pushed myself to write at least 10. It's made a big difference. I think because I have to work for it.

I really enjoyed seeing your gratitude 30 challenge Lani! You’ve inspired me to follow that Instagram account. That sounds like such a wonderful practice to journal 10 things a day. I might start smaller, but I can see how that would be a wonderful addition to my daily routine. 💖
