The Mission
Support the well-being of our Steemit community by inviting, recognizing, and rewarding the attitude of gratitude. The Steemit Gratitude Journal aims to focus our attention on the abundant blessings that surround every one of us in every moment, even in the most challenging life situations. Truly, life itself is a gift, and it's high-time we celebrate this, through stories that strum the heartstrings.
The Affirmation
Truly, the art and the practice of being thankful is a blast, and a blessing, and bliss! I'm seeing that the more we seek and find the positive aspects of our life situations, the more they naturally rise to the surface and dominate our thoughts, and fill our lives with positives. This way of shining in the world is like being a sun, focusing our rays and sending them through jewels and raindrops, sparkling, and making rainbows. I appreciate the rainbows in you, dear friends. Thank you for journaling about your gratitude, spreading the love and lightness we all share. I am grateful for the feeling of peace we experience when we look on the brighter side of life.
The Gratitude
Nine people participated last week, and I'd like to personally acknowledge each of them: @musclegirlfusion, @fractalizer, @paradise-found, @ilysasismail, @yomibolo, @bloghound, @icybc, @melinda010100, @nikolina. Thank you for expressing what you're grateful for! I'm delighted by the positive feedback you've offered at this early stage. Your encouragement means so much to me.

- Grateful For Knowledge by @musclegirlfusion
- Why To Be Grateful by @fractalizer
- Halloween and Día de los Muertos with My Wild Family! by @cabelindsay
Remember: There's another outstanding community challenge that invites you to share your gratitude. The #gratefulvibes community challenge by @paradise-found is currently on day 25, giving Steemians a daily reminder that the attitude of gratitude brings us more to be grateful for. For example, see Community Challenge Day 24 - Attitude Of Gratitude.
Thank you in advance for your gratitude. Whether you share it here, or elsewhere, I believe your positive thoughts, words, and actions will bring gratitude to others too. Your words will uplift other writers. Your smile will inspire other smiles.
Gratefully,
Love LOVE this idea. I just wrote about what I'm grateful for this past week, but misspelled my #gratefulvibes hashtag! facepalm!
There must be a reason why I'm being reminded to be grateful this week though, so I'll take it as another opportunity to reflect and maybe edit my post as more things come to mind.
This week has been incredibly stressful and hard for us, and it's hard to feel grateful when you're in survival mode in every sense of the word, but I also know it's exactly what will help the most... thanks for opening this up @cabelindsay. I'll be following these tags closely!

Yeah, lately I'm into positive affirmations, seeing them work wonders. So, your survival mode is such a gift, to me personally and to all of the world, really. This innate way of seeking and finding physical safety, mental strength, emotional willpower–I'm really grateful for it. So happy to know that the Creator creates for us, and gives us the ability to create. So happy to know that the Provider provides. Grateful for all of the forces that aligned to make my sister here happy, living well in this moment.

Thank you @cabelindsay for the mention! Forgive me but I didn't know that you're running this #gratitudejournal every week..and didn't know what date/day it starts or ends. I am new to all of these :-)
I love the idea of focusing on #gratitude and staying positive every day..
I don't know if this still counts, but here is my entry: https://steemit.com/gratitude/@icybc/steemit-gratitude-journal-grateful-for-the-rain

So cool to see another of your #gratitude posts here! Yes, the community challenge is open-ended, and I'm working toward a more official event schedule. I'm thinking #ThankfulThursday will stick. I'll admit, I've been a bit wobbly in my efforts to streamline and communicate, so I'll try and be more clear moving forward. Thank you!
