I am gratefully for being healthy and having healthy kids. Learned recently about a friend whose kids got diagnosed with a serious condition, I can't imagine how devastated I would be. Also grateful to have a good job and regularly finding the time to have fun.
I'm grateful that I get to do what I love everyday, that I am healthy in the mind and body. Simplicity is the key to happiness for me, when things get chaotic I go back to the basics and realize how lucky I am to have my needs met..everything else is just extra
Finally having a good work-life balance. Being able to physically and mentally check out of work after hours is wonderful.
Living with my husband. We did long distance for almost a decade before moving in and its really been amazing being able to share mundane moments with each other such as grocery shopping and mowing the lawn.
@lebouzou We had a few ups and downs for sure over the decade! The longest time between visits was 6 months and that was no beuno so we tried very hard after that to see each other every 3 to 4 months. I did a lot of overtime to earn extra time off and he thankfully had a job that would periodically let him work from home so his visits to me were always around 3-4 weeks long while mine to him were only about a week. I think the biggest challenge honestly was the time difference. We had to intentionally line up our schedules in a way that we were available for chats, even if just for 15 mins.
I think the most important aspect was communication (as in every relationship). Making sure we shared what we did each day even if it was nothing special so we still felt involved even though we were not present to experience it. I also found it super important to think in my actions/conversations with others, "Would I be comfortable saying or doing what I am doing or saying right now with my boyfriend next to me?" Cause I think the loneliness can start to push you to seek validation from others which can lead to compromising situations.

for me it's an easy one...I'm extremely grateful I'm healthy and can move around without any problems.
I am extremely fortunate to have my mother-in-law. My wife and I both work, and without her incredible help, I don’t know if we would have had a child, let alone a second. My parents, being more traditionally American, have always encouraged me to be independent, and I appreciate that as well. However, having multi-generational support in raising a family turns the impossible into the possible, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
I’m grateful that I’m still here and have overcome some rough days in the past. But more importantly I’m grateful to be able to communicate with everyone here and learn more that there is to this life that surrounds us and stresses out but is so beautifully complex and simple at the same time.
That I currently still have affordable rent and am not struggling to pay my bills. I've seen so many friends and family have their payments skyrocket so the fact that I am able to be (mildly) comfortable without much stress about immediate expenses is a good feeling. I'll never be able to afford a home here, but at least I can get by without moving to Bakersfield (yet)!
I'm grateful that I get to decide what to do with my time on most days. I make my own schedule, determine my own work, and prioritize activities that are important to me.
Being where I am now. As an immigrant, adjusting to a new country can feel like an identity crisis—you’re caught between where you came from and where you’re trying to belong. But I’m learning to appreciate the journey, the opportunities ahead, and the growth that comes with starting fresh.
