Thank you to all my followers and readers; to those who are inspired to leave comments and those who use what they see and read in their own personal ways; to those who inspire me with their writings and those who push me to think harder about this world we all share. Thank you.

Today, a big message came my way by email… the message said the doorway to happiness is gratitude. The email was from the amazing folks at Ted Talks and one of the kind curators suggested a playlist to me about feeling grateful. Then I found this gem.

Linda Trice: Remember to say thank you

Three minutes and seventeen seconds to rattle my perceptions and remind me of one of the simplest ways I’ve always been able to feel happiness. I invite you to watch it and I thank you for the energy you will share, in whatever way you want, once watching it. Thank you.

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.

On April 27th, 2020, I started a search for the answers. What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You? – Day 1; I shared the first response on What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You? – Day 2; shared a little research on What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You? – Day 3; I dug deeper on Day 4 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; let things flow a little more on Day 5 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; push the question on Day 6 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; reflect in a new way on Day 7 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; look at gratitude benefits on Day 8 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; express symtomology on Day 9 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?: my Birthday happiness on Day 10 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; connecting Love to Gratitude on Day 11 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; & pondered the benefits of feeling ungrateful on Day 12 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?

Expectations:

• a) We will share the positive feelings of gratitude with each other.
• b) We will see common threads that help us define what gratitude is to us. 
• c) We will focus on a positive concept and build understandings for better intentions.
