We’ve reached the end of another year, and there’s a lot to say about 2022, from the conflict in Ukraine to the death of the queen, Elon Musk buying Twitter to SBF’s crypto empire collapse, and more.
In this blog post, I will share 31 things my family is thankful for in 2022. Read what we are grateful for in 2021 and 2020.
Gratitude is a strong feeling that can change our lives for the better. It helps you think about the good things in your life instead of getting stuck on the bad things in your life or the world. It can also help you feel better mentally and physically and strengthen your relationships with other people.
By sharing this list, we hope to get you to think about what you’re thankful for in your life and appreciate the many good things you may take for granted.
For this to be seamless you need to create a system to record your gratitude consistently all through the year. Record everything, from small things like a cup of coffee to big things like the birth of a child.
So, without further ado, let’s get started on our list of 25 things we’re thankful for in 2022.
