Graturday Giveaway: Week 25

in FreeCompliments13 days ago

”Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” - Denis Waitley

Welcome to Graturday Week Twenty-Five!🎉

First off, I'd like to send a shoutout to last week's winners:

🌟 @hatdogsensei 🌟
🌟 @nozem01 🌟
🌟 @ronnie10 🌟

If this is your first time here, this is what this giveaway is about: every Saturday (unless I'm late enough for it to be Sunday) I invite anyone who happens to stumble upon this post to share something they feel grateful for. Aside from getting the chance to express your gratitude, you could win one of the prizes.

What prizes?

🎁 1st Gratitude Comment gets 100 Ecency points
🎁 2nd Gratitude Comment gets 90 Ecency points
🎁 3rd Gratitude Comment gets 80 Ecency points
🎁 4th Gratitude Comment gets 70 Ecency points
🎁 5th Gratitude Comment gets 60 Ecency points

But why gratitude?

Because gratitude is great for you. Being grateful can yield all sorts of benefits including:

  • More restful sleep
  • Better focus
  • More patience
  • Improved self-esteem
  • More positive moods
  • Stronger relationships
  • (And many more)

And that's just from a scientific perspective. If you look at it in terms of the energy you put into the world and what you'd like to have returned to you, gratitude can encourage more good things to come your way. You don't have to believe it just because I (or anybody else) said so. Try it yourself with Graturday 😉. Here's how:

The Rules

  1. Leave a comment on this post about something you feel grateful for.
  2. Comments can be any length as long as they clearly convey what you feel grateful for.
  3. You can't pick everything or everyone, so narrow it down to something or someone specific.
  4. You can't give the same comment more than once in a month if you want your entry to be eligible for prizes. (But if you want to mention something multiple times per month alongside new things you feel grateful for, that's fine too.)
  5. You don't have to upvote or repost to enter, but if you do, just know that you have my gratitude for that.
  6. You have until next week's Graturday post goes up to enter for this week ⏳.

What am I grateful for this week?

I'm almost finished with the Duolingo Music course! It's not really very useful for learning music theory yet BUT I've never been this good at sight reading sheet music in my life! Trained musicians might not understand what a leap this is for me but trust me when I say, I just didn't get it and now I almost do 😃.

Okay, now it's your turn! Please join in and let me know in the comments what you felt grateful for this past week.

Have a Great Graturday!
