That was inspiring, I love it. Reminds me on an older post of mine, in which I found 77 reasons to love my life.
The real beauty is that they will never remain only 30 for gratitude or only 77 for loving your life. There will always be more. Witnessing those reasons is the greatest joy of this travel.

Nice to see your list. I need to work on mine. It is a good idea to pause every now and then and remember to be grateful, thanks for the reminder.

I agree living in gratitude is so much better than living on the edge.

Living in blind gratitude is wrong. You gotta see all facets of life, negative and positive. You can’t be happy all the time, that would neglect the principle of happiness. You gotta see the bad to appreciate the good. YES, you got to appreciate the small things in life, but you can’t forget the GIGANTIC problems over them.

having lived thinking only of the bad in the world for so long, i have to say that living now in gratitude is so empowering. feeling grateful for all i do have, all the things i can do and all the wonders that surround me makes me a functional, and capable. living with the burdens of the world constantly upon my shoulders did not make me a better person, it made me incapable of doing anything. now i can actually make a change, do something.

It is way too easy to concentrate on the negative things in life. But it is often said that even if we have no control over what happens to us, we can control our reaction to what happens. Living a life of gratitude changes our focus, causing us to only see even more things to be grateful for. Thank you for posting this list.

Fine site. I got a lot of good material here. I’ve been keeping an eye on this technology for some time. It’s fascinating just how it keeps changing, yet some of the core factors stay the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their most recent acquisition in the area?
