    I think today's version will be the "Things I bitch about, but really shouldn't bitch about, because others have it worse" edition:

    1) I spent part of yesterday cleaning out the basement and I'll be dragging out the lawnmower today to cut the grass ... but I should be more thankful that I have a home. It may have a horribly full-of-junk basement and a yard that is just awful to cut, but it is a lot more than a lot of people have, and I'm thankful for it.

    2) I am sweating through some schoolwork and waiting to see if I can continue in my program ... but I'm thankful for the opportunity to pursue my education. I have my faults - MANY of them, actually - but I thank God for the scholastic aptitude I have been given in my field.

    3) I am trying to lose some weight and crabby about it ... but I'm thankful to have more food than a LOT of people do. It's actually embarrassing to look at all of the food choices I have and gripe about "I don't know what to eat" when there are those who are not so blessed.

    I am grateful for one girl I was allucinated towards her for 7 months. She showed me that I can be attractive for girls, that most of the people doesn't wish us bad and not everyone is going to use us
    I am grateful for my ex that he showed me that I can be loved without conditions, that I deserve the best and I can be happy in my life in general
    I am happy for moon, stars, cats, fishes and zodiac signs. I have great memories with this stuff, especially about last relationship
    I am grateful for support I received today from nofap user
    I am grateful for spending time with friends of mine :)
    I am grateful for a cake I ate today and pancakes
    I am grateful to the Universe that it sent me so many beautiful moments and good people in my life and I can feel that I am not alone neither totally abandoned and forgotten in this world
    I am grateful for the knowledge about myself. Even If for now I add a regret for the knowledge, soon I will understand that there is no need for regreting, but knowledge by itself will help me to grow and shine like a beautiful star on the cloudless sky
    I am grateful for being zodiac leo and being connected to the sun and orange colour :D!

    Day Tres!
    (I actually am terrible at Spanish)

    1. I'm so grateful for this community. It's not terribly difficult for me to avoid breaking, but it's the people who make NoFap a meaningful experience.

    2. The way that thinking about death has made me fall in love with life. I want to spend my time sharing kindness, being a positive thing in the lives of others. And it's that mindset alone that has given me the greatest joy.

    3. That there are fellow cat fans going through the gratitude challenge (mmhmm I see you). It means a lot because I come home to a small ball of love that takes over half my bed... and I am so glad to know that I share that kind of joy with others in a medium that's as impersonally personal as this.

    I'm grateful for this weekd morning mediations, what a gift. I'm so thankful for being a part of my group.

    I'm grateful for my simple, drama-free life. It hasn't always been like this, but now I am very content with simplicity.

    I'm so grateful for spiritual friends; we can discuss everything, from dealing with everyday life to meditation insights and experiences. Friendships like this are priceless.
