Sometimes I think about the days I lived in #NYC...though anxiety kicks in remembering how hard at times it was to live in the city, it also strengthened me to become the person I am today. . Writing my gratitudes and having a gratitudes practice always brings me back to harder days...I appreciate them more...and though the tough times (to me) we’re at times unbearable, I think about the hard times my parents had growing up in the Philippines or immigrating to a different country so that my hard times were nothing like theirs. . When I think about those sacrifices my parents made, watching the world wake up like this puts me at ease and makes me more grateful for what I have. . What have you been grateful for lately?
