Are you seeking connection and support with others who share your life experiences and gratitude journey?

Gratitude, being Thankful, is a practice of finding things in life to appreciate. It can be a powerful tool for coping with difficult times, including the challenges of living with or caring for someone with a disability.


Here are some tips for nurturing gratitude:

  • Focus on the positive. Make a conscious effort to notice and appreciate the good things in your life, even the small things.

  • Keep a gratitude journal. Writing down the things you're grateful for is a great way to focus on the positive and reflect on your blessings.

  • Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. When you're mindful, you're more likely to notice and appreciate the good things in your life.

  • Spend time with friends and family. Spending time with loved ones is a great way to boost your mood and feel grateful for the people in your life.

  • Try to look at your situation from another angle or perspective. Instead of labeling something as a disappointment or failure, consider it as an opportunity.
