It could have been a bad thing. It could have wrecked my mood. But it made me reflect with gratitude that I had spent most of my day dry. In fact, most of the week and month had been dry. So I could have been bitter and scowled for the inconvenience of being wet but instead I thought about the plants and the waterways and how they were likely relieved to be nourished after a long dry May.
Like most people, I've been really focused on questions like "what can I do better?" Or "how can I be more efficient?" And this mindset hasn't allowed me to applaud the moments where I DID achieve. So originally I had a gratitude jar on my kitchen counter but it just accumulated more dust than anything..... so I decided to make r/gratitudejar instead as a place to recognize the daily successes so we can applaud them together! 😊
Hope this post is welcome here 😅

Its my first time making a sub: r/gratitudejar. I made it because it's easy to keep setting goals and chasing goals but it's important to reflect on our wins along the way. Let me know your thoughts on this! Hope this is an appropriate place to share...
