I feel grateful to be able to have so many devices that make my life simpler.

My Roomba vacuumed the floor for me so I don’t have too.

I got the opportunity to share a place I love with someone I really care about :)

It's amazing how seeing a place or experiencing an event with someone enhances the experience. It's like being able to see a thing for the first time, they notice things you would never notice. They have perspective on things you had never even considered. I am very grateful for this!

I am able to spend time with my family and work on projects that I am passionate about without having to worry about money, safety or food.

It makes me grateful for the privilege that I am experiencing and makes me want to give back to other people.

I reminded myself I have my dream job after the travel ban got extended.

It reminded me that I was chosen to be where I am today. The relationships formed or not formed are all intentional.

I experienced a pretty big panic attack which felt all consuming. It really shook me too my core. My friends were there to talk me down.

Without my friends it would be so much harder to deal with life's challenges, they give me a perspective that is almost impossible to generate internally. I am grateful to have such wonderful people in my life.

I received more praise from my Director.

It reminded me that I worked really hard to get where I am and I am so grateful for the career opportunity that has been given to me. I know I have impacted many people over the years, and continue to do so. The disappointments I feel in lack of employee engagement will pass, resistance to change is a thing.

Oscar Iván helped me solve the problem so that I could start closing the Project on my charge.

I didn't know how to do it and I had been looking for help for several days but he managed to help me and I was able to start the process of closing the project.

I introduced two of my friends to each other and they really got on well. We all played games together and had a good time!

I am grateful that I could make a connection between people that didn't exist before, it makes me feel connected and vital to those around me.

My grandpa and my grandma took me for a trip to the town where they lived in the past and where my dad grew up. When we were there, they shared many stories from the old times.

Looking at the past helps me to better understand the privilege that I am experiencing now.

I went to bed earlier for the first time in weeks, which ment getting more sleep.. not by much only 45 minutes or so, but I really felt the difference!

I am so grateful for the extra sleep, it's such a little thing to forget how important it is and how much of an effect it has on the rest of your life.

I went paddle boarding for the first time! I got to meet some new people in the group I was with.

It really feeds my soul to learn new things, I am so grateful I can afford the time and the money to learn. I love having the connection to the water, it is so therapeutic.

With my friends and colleagues, we made a gather to help the cleaning lady and we gave her a printer she needed.

I am very happy because she needs it and she didn't have the economic capacity to buy it.

As I was letting my friends out of my apartment door late last night I noticed a girl sitting in the hallway. She looked board and tired, my friend asked if she was ok and she said that her friends had the keys to the apartment and that she had been waiting for over an hour for them to come back. She didn't have her phone or anything with her. I told her that if they don't show up soon that she should come and nock on my door. After 15 minutes or so she knocked on the door, I made her feel welcome and let her use my laptop to contact her friends. They took about 20 minutes to respond but we had good chats during that time. She thanked me for my help and said I was her hero :)

It felt really good to have helped a stranger, it reminds me of all the times I have been helped by strangers. It gives me hope for the future that people can still help people, for no other reason than they need help.
