I’m already starting to feel the benefits. I don’t mean this in a way that is a life changer yet, but, I am more present with things around me. The feelings associated with actions, the simple pleasures and with this a feeling of calm and purpose.

Day 1 felt a little weird, pulling in gratitide and repeating the mantra “I love this life, I love this game, thank you, thank you”. As the day wore on I found myself gently giving thanks for all manner of things, grass under my feet, warm coffee, the ability to write.

Over the last 5 days gratitide has woven it’s way throughout my everyday thoughts without resistance. I find myself unconsciously giving thanks for simple things. Things that seemingly had no connection with my days before making gratitide a personal mantra.

I am grateful to Mark for this, I’m gonna call this a “gift” rather than calling it a habit. I am grateful for this journey of discovery. I am grateful for the ability to adapt and be pliable.

Gratitide.
