I'm alert to the fortunate things happening in my life.
Sometimes, it can be extraordinarily difficult to be grateful when we are going through a really tough situation and all hell is breaking loose in our life. However, even when things are tough and rough, it is self-evident that choosing to find reasons to be grateful would be a better choice than allowing ourselves to be resentful.
I'm not saying this trivially. I know from experience that things that are good in our lives can be quite invisible if we don't show gratitude for those things. Take yourself for an example; you are alive. You probably have a family. You probably have a way to earn a living, even if what you are making is not as much as you want to be making at your current age. You are probably healthy enough to wake up each day and get out of bed.
Those things are reasons to be grateful. They are precious and also rare because people die every day but you are alive and healthy. However, the moment you start to neglect those good things in your life, they will become invisible to you and some people live in bitterness because of what they believe they don't have instead of being alert to the fortunate things in their life.
I know things are tough and I know that terrible things are happening. So, with every moment I have, I use it to be grateful for these;
My Family: I'm glad I have people in this world to call family. Just last night, I made a call to my Mum and got to speak with two of my sisters who are currently at home. I was very curious to know how they are doing and I felt good to realize that they are doing their best to thrive. I know some people do not have a family in this world. For me, I have a family that I love and I will always be grateful for that.
My Life: My life has been an interesting growth arc and I've seen a lot of development in the life I'm living. There is always so much I want to achieve and there is so much I want to do. At the moment, I'm still far from my destination but I'm glad to take steps forward with each breath I take. I believe that being alive is a blessing and being healthy is another blessing of its own. I'm blessed with both and I will make good use of the life I'm living.
I know the list of things I'm grateful for goes on and on, but I will end it with the two I've already mentioned.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.

It's good to appreciate the things that happen to us. It helps you see more reasons to stay happy.
Exactly. If we appreciate the good things happening to us, it will be easier to maintain a more positive approach to life.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Well done.
I don’t know you from a personal point
But I’m someone excited to know that you’ve experienced growth
I think that’s the whole point of life, growing.
That's very true. We live life each day and life isn't really worth living if we are not going to experience any sort of consistent growth and development. Hehe.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
The best gifts one can have is the gift of life and the gift of a loving family
True. Being alive and having a family that is united is already a blessing on its own
It’s always a delight to know our family is doing well. As you said some people don’t even have family. We really should count ourselves blessed as we get to hear from our family from time to time.
True. Some people do not have a life while some that have one are taking it as a trivial part of life.
I've learned to be grateful for the things I have. My family is one of those.
You are right. Sometimes it can be extremely tough to be grateful when you are passing through tough time. But nevertheless, we still need to stay grateful
Yeah. Life is tough and so much happens. And, we can choose to be grateful regardless of what we are dealing with.
Being grateful even for the little things we have is a sure way to live, and it has a way of attracting more to us. One may not have it all, but the life you have is enough to be grateful.

That's true. There is so much to be grateful for. It starts from the life we live and then other things follows
You said it all. Most time when we are going through tough times, we tend to overlook the necessities we have. We are not usually appreciative. But mastering the art of being grateful will give us a positive approach which is needed in life.
#dreemerforlife
True. We all need that positive approach in life and it is easier to do that when we can be grateful for the things happening in our life
A grateful heart makes way for more fortunes while a resentful heart will not even be able to see the good things coming his or her way.
One's family is more than enough reason to be grateful. They are extremely special and unique; showering love, advice and support endlessly.
We all must also be grateful for the privilege of being alive. A lot of people die daily like chickens but we are still alive, hale and hearty.
#Dreemerforlife.
This is very true and also very insightful. Life is filled with a mixture of positive and negative. If we pay too much attention to the negative, we will lose sight of the positive things which we need to be grateful for.
Family is one of those that we can't take for granted.
Thank God for the gift of life. Without life nothing can be said or done... the dead cannot thank, neither can they think.
Family is special especially when there is love.
Every other thing will fall into place when we are grateful for what we have.
#dreemerforlife
Exactly. This is why the idea of being grateful is something that should be talked about. I'm very grateful about having a family that I enjoy spending time with. Hehe
As long as one has life, there is hope, we all need to be grateful, even just for that alone, every other thing is secondary.
#dreemerforlife
True. Life comes first and we need to be grateful for our life. When there is life, there is hope of other things.
