Day 99 via /r/gratitude

Today is received gratitude. There have many days actually lately that I have received gratitude but for some reason, today I recognized it in a very different way. Today I am grateful for RECEIVING GRATITUDE. This is a bit of a twist, since up until this point, I has just been grateful for… things? This time, I am grateful for the act of another’s gratitude, towards me. It’s a new feeling, a new experience, a new beginning… and so fitting since tomorrow I reach my goal of 100 Days of Gratitude.

I do not do what I do for others in any expectation of receiving something back, except at work of course… so to RECEIVE gratitude is more now than just getting a thank you. It feels like I’ve just found a hidden treasure. Knowing what my own gratitude feels like is (has become) pretty spectacular. And I’ve never fully put on the shoes of another to understand the depth of another’s gratitude for my actions. If I feel into my own sense of gratitude, and transfer that into receiving such a blessing from another as my own, this has exponentially increased my gratitude practice.

I’ve definitely reached the peak of a mountain, and tomorrow I will celebrate this victory in ways I can’t yet imagine. I am however really looking forward to it. I am so thankful for other people’s gratitude.
