Being grateful
When I got to live in my flat, alone in 2013, I was so grateful. It was the first time that I had a place on my own in which to stay and do what I wanted, to have personal space. The flat is one bedroom apartment with a balcony. But for me it was heaven after I lived with my parents and my grandparents most of my life.
I was so grateful for this particular thing that my gratefulness started to be felt in all the other arias of my life. I was overcoming all the obstacles in my life very quickly because I had this motive to be grateful. It did not matter that I had hard time at work, because after work I was coming to my place and I could relax and do what ever I wanted without asking someone else for permission or bothering someone else with what I wanted to do. In my flat, I got to do all my hobbies. One needs some personal space to have a pet, or to practice a hobby.
This state of mind lasted about 2 years and after that I started to get used to this blessing. I got to own this flat only in 2024 when I inherited from my grandmother. And then I was not grateful like before because I thought I was entitled to it because I lived there for 11 years. But it is a privilege to own your own home and it is a blessing. I have all this space for myself and in time I did make it my own.
But I did not know how many reasons I have to be grateful until I wrote them here in the post “Looking for gratitude”.
Of course I was pitting myself for not working. But that was my only aria of my life in which things did not go as I was excepting. In all the other arias I am doing so well then I ever done in my life. I have a love life, a social life, a family life that are great. And even as professional life I have an income. I can say that I am in the greatest faze of my life, so far.
I hope you are doing well, my reader. And I think you do, even if you are not aware of it. Last year I had a severe case of job burnout and my life turn out so well in only less then 365 days.
See you in my next post!
