What did the year 2022 give you that you appreciate?

So many people talk about how glad they are 2022 is over, just as they previously were glad that 2021 nd 2020 departed. Let's look at the positive.

Tell us something lovely that happened to you in 2022, something you enjoyed and were (and still are) pleased about. It can be something big, or something small.

I'll make a start:

2022 gave me my first ever apricots from my own orchard, flavoursome, juicy and sweet.

I’m so thankful for the wonderful family and friends in my life. Love you all! Thankful for another wonderful year. I’m filled with so much gratitude!
And pie!! Thankful for a good slice of pie and a great glass of wine!
I know for many the holidays can be stressful and difficult. A big hug for you!

Here’s something I need to work on regarding #graditude. I need to figure out a good way to be #grateful for the things and people in my life that make it so great, without the attachment of something negative to it. For example, I was just thinking about how glad I am for the family and friends I have, and my boyfriend. Then, my mind immediately went to thinking about what if they were gone, and worry, and a kind of desperation because I know nothing is forever. I am sometimes able to just feel pure graditude and let it wrap around me and sink in to it. But much more often it comes with the worry about the potential finitude of things. I want to try to be better at detaching the negative just for a moment here and there, or even better, not allowing it to sneak in to begin with. I’m a realist and try to equally acknowledge the positive and negative aspects of life to whatever degree is true. But sometimes the negative sticks around more than is healthy, and that doesn’t contribute well to balance. So I’m just trying to do what I can.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT??

Now imagine needing water first thing in the morning for your children only to be confronted by 14 foot hungry gators??

Keyword today folks??
