Grateful is a way of appreciating or showing thanks to people, we mostly feel grateful when we receive a gift from friends and someone offering us charity like helping or being kind with us.

Being grateful for me I say it's a natural feeling given to us by our creator, I always feel grateful in every random good thing that had happened to me, for instance I was grateful when my boss accepted a one week off from work when I requested for it, my friend bought me Bean cake in the evening and I said thank you, that shows how grateful i was to receive the gift from him.

We feel grateful when we're happy, when we're happy we become emotional a smile light up in our faces, this is because someone has given us a costly gifts, help us or offer us some charity work.

I have more reasons to be grateful, I'm gonna share just five to y'all, they're...

The gift of life.

For God really loved us, that he gave us the gift of life for free and paid the ransom by himself, the gift of life is the Greatest of all gifts which no one on earth can buy with money but gave me for free, it's always my priority to be grateful to God.

My mother.

My mother is so precious to me, she always tried her best to cook and served me breakfast, lunch and dinner, she taught and nurtured me to be a better person. Her way of mould with a good responsibility seems like milk, I'm grateful to have my mom beside me.

The church I belong.

I'm a member of Jehovah's witnesses, an organization that hold love and peace, I was introduced to steemit platform through my fellow brother bossj23, apart from that this organization has taught and helped me understand what it means to worship God, I've gain other's important benefit through this organization, I'm grateful to have them as my brothers and sisters.

The privilege to work in steemit platform.

Some years I was a lost boy that had no hope to live a better life but the privilege to work in steemit platform has grant me all I need in life, I have less worries, what I need depends on me to work with consistency and focus on creating quality post and get support, I'm always grateful when I remember that I'm a steemians.

To sleep and wake up alive.

If I'm not grateful for the fact that I always wake up alive, what will I be grateful for? Maybe God would've taken off my life since, it's not everyone who slept last night that made it today but here I am steeming, I have all the evidence to be grateful to God for watching over me when I'm sleeping, sending his protective angles to guide me whenever I slept like a dead body, to God on heaven which Jehovah is your name is your name I'm forever grateful to you.

Yes, being grateful and counting our blessings everyday have a great positive impact in our life, we are grateful when we're happy and we're happy when good things happen to us, maybe life hasn't treated us to our satisfaction and we felt unvalued, being grateful to all the little things we have can change our unvalued mind to a valued person, that is when we'll feel happiness in life, that is when our unvalued mind change to value mind and we become happy.
