10 Things I am Grateful for Today


I was watching TikTok last night and there was something called a 10/10/10 Worksheet someone was filling out. The concept is to create 3 lists of 10 thoughts back to back. One of the lists is to write 10 Things I am Grateful for Today and I thought “this could be fun”! The idea is that the three lists will instantly put you in a better mood and help boost your positivity/production. I figured… why not give it a try!

This month has been really tough for me. If you haven’t noticed, from my lack of posting. 😩 The season has changed and, honest truth here: I am one of the many individuals in the Northern Pacific Northwest that suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It’s so easy for me to fall into a depressed state without Vitamin D, a lamp light (which I am investing in this year) and lack of exercise every single day.

The 3 Lists for the 10/10/10 Worksheet:

So I’m hoping this list will help me (and maybe you) put some perspective into why life isn’t all that bad. The 3 lists are:

1) 10 Most Exciting Desires You Want To Do

2) 10 Things You Are Most Grateful For

3) 10 Things You Love To Do

Normally I would be all about sharing these three lists with you but, recently I’ve decided to keep my goals to myself. It’s no offense, I swear! However, I don’t want to say a goal on here and not be able to finish it. It would be disheartening for myself.

My goals are personal and something I want to start manifesting in private. I think of goals as amazing little adventures. You guys know I LOVE sharing adventures, but… I rather share them when I’ve actually completed them. 😊

10 Things I am Grateful for Today

  1. My upcoming cabin trip next month. I’m grateful I can afford it and for the happiness it give me to think about it.
  2. The roof over my head and a bed to sleep in every night.
  3. The food in my pantry and fridge.
  4. A granola recipe I modify every season that Chef Amy gave to me when I worked at a restaurant in Virginia. (It’s the best recipe ever)
  5. My family and the friends I’ve chosen to be my family.
  6. The opportunity and privilege to vote in a state with mail-in/drop off ballots
  7. My overall health and my ability to stay healthy.
  8. A job that pays my bills and allows me to save.
  9. My new rowing machine that allows me to exercise indoors during the Fall/Winter months. (SO happy and thankful I could afford this)
  10. My therapist who I’ve been seeing for almost 3 years now. She has been such a light when my days are truly dark.
From you

I’d love to know what you are grateful for today. These times are trying, especially when the weather turns. I would truly love to know what has been keeping you all thankful and positive during these times.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post today! As always, hope you’re staying happy, healthy and safe.

    I love this post and love this idea of making a list of things I am grateful for. It’s been a rough year but it’s good to take comfort in things that bring us joy. So many things on your list are relatable, including #s 5, 7, and 8.
