Gratitude Write Up

Your Name: Aden Abdi Date: 11/18/20

1. At the close of keeping a gratitude journal on D2L, what have you learned?
 I have learned many things from this gratitude journal. I have learned there are many
things that I am grateful in my life that I literally take for grant every day. The is
gratitude journal has really taught me that my way of living life, “the simple way” which
I like to call it, is really the most enjoyable way and not to take anything in life granted.

2. How does it feel to you when you look back over what you have written/posted?
 I feel very happy over the things I have written. I take joy and pride in the things I have
done with the people I love and things that I have accomplished. Whether it was enjoying
the nice weather or eating lunch with a loved one, I genuinely felt lucky to have
opportunities like that.

3. Have you noticed any common themes after reviewing your gratitude posts? Please
describe….
 The common theme that I’ve noticed after reviewing my gratitude post is really a sense
of peace. I’ve noticed that most of the things I have posted about were not only good for
my physical well-being but also more importantly my mental health. Just enjoying these
activities really brought peace to myself.

4. What have you learned from reviewing and responding to other’s posts?
 I felt that other people were really on the same boat as I was because from reading the
posts, everyone sounded happy about their activities. This also made me happy because
after reviewing people’s posts, it inspired me to do some great activities that others were
doing for self-care.
