Thank you to Eliza for sharing what being grateful means to her:

“Appreciation. Love. Light. That is what my gratitude challenge is for.
Love, light and glitter“

The concept of LOVE comes up a lot in the quest for happiness and gratitude. I believe it is more of a feeling than concept. Warm, chills, calm, excitement, peace, jitters, butterflies, smiles, tears, and so much more accompany LOVE. Most of these feelings can also accompany gratitude. It comes on like a surprise. Trust me when I say this all feels like it makes sense in my head, even if it doesn’t in my words… yet.

Call To Action:

SHARE YOUR DEFINITIONS, REALIZATIONS, REFLECTIONS, AND QUESTIONS ABOUT GRATITUDE.

Intention:

My intention is to build a better understanding of what gratitude feels like and I need your help!

I intend to repost this question every day for 21 days (because I believe it is the duration needed to form habits) and add your responses to the posts. 

Introduction:

I really want to understand what gratitude feels like to my fellow humans and see the common aspects to the concept.

Expectations:
