Splendid Moments of My Existence

30-Day Gratitude Challenge

November 4, 2023

Getting up early morning and knowing that I exist and that I can be there for myself and for people who need me, is gratitude.

I am grateful for the presence of nature and its everlasting beauty. Warm sunshine in the mornings, sudden rain, then warmth again, (some days were sharp and sunny in the afternoons), and pleasant evenings — this was what it was like this week, and it was exceptionally beautiful.

The past week’s challenges bogged me down, but there wasn’t a moment when I was not grateful because I had the resources to deal with the issues; I was grateful and hopeful at the same time. I learned during this time that if you are facing a difficult situation and even if it is taking longer than expected, still, good times will take over.

I am also meekly grateful for the efficiency and meticulousness I possess in anything I do. It helped me immensely this past week in completing my work, personal chores, and professional during that challenging time.

I am grateful not when difficult times pass and I get this overwhelming feeling of gratitude, but I am just grateful. It is difficult to describe what all this is about. Sometimes, I just want to sit in serene reverence, and Oh, yes, I get to express my gratitude in the form of a prayer to the Almighty or a smile to my loved ones, and this is an amazing feeling.
