Gratitude is showing me that Grief and Gratitude can coexist. That I can be grieving and embrace pockets of joy even if I struggle to find the purpose of what I'm going through.

It’s quite a challenge to zoom in at those situations that made us grow, for sure. For me, trusting myself and the path I’ve lived through life has made a grate difference. I see gratitude as a way to honor ourselves, what has happened to us and the way we learned to be brave enough it to grow out of tough situations.

Thanks for sharing! Loved your perspective about gratitude.✨

Yes while things that have happened to us may have been traumatic, I look at them as lessons, not gratitude. I use gratitude for being in the here and now as I continue to learn lessons daily. Forced gratitude feels like being stuck and your energy dummed down. Flow is essential. Thank you Alex for this perspective and Happy Thanksgiving.😍🙌🏾

Gratitude has revealed itself to me on the other side of grief.

I have allowed myself to c r y & to breathe the tough emotions out of my body.

I've allowed myself to be held and to release.

Learning the lessons through talking it out. I recognize how I'm blessed to have someone to talk about these things with. I have full gratitude for the way life is helping me move through all the moving parts.

Finish this sentence: I am still worthy when…

I am not successful in a business path.

I live with trusting too much.

I am filled with worries.

Trying to manage with ease and grace even if it seems hazy at the moment.

I have always seen Gratitude as appreciating the good things in my life. Through reading your perspective and your own thoughts, I see now that I don't always have to grateful for the situations that have happened to me or that have involved me. I can be grateful for the growth and clarity even if I also grieve the loss of the relationship or friendship. I am showing gratitude to the growth and not the redirection.

Happy Thanksgiving!
