Today I'm grateful for my neighbors who have been so supportive while I was not feeling well last week - actually for several weeks since my surgery. I really feel fortunate to live in a place where I know I could get help night or day in a matter of moments. I wanted to do something to thank them, so I invited all of my close neighbors over next weekend for a little celebratory get together. I'm looking forward to making some special treats and letting them know how much I value them.

This process made me think further about gratitude. For me, it's been very helpful to commit to identifying something I'm grateful for every day. But does it end there, or is there a way to repay the kindness? pay it forward? or expand it in some way? I'm wondering if others have any insight on your experiences with this?

@debbraw You'll find the right thing that works for you. It may be a combination of all three you mentioned. Glad to hear you are on the mend more and more each day, and that you had community there to assist. We should all be so lucky!
