”Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.” - Aesop
Welcome to Graturday Week Seventeen!🎉
It took a while for me to find a spare moment to put this post together, but here it is. Welcome to Graturday! Here's what it's about: every Saturday 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
- Leave a comment on this post about something you feel grateful for.
- Comments can be any length once they clearly convey what you feel grateful for.
- You can't pick everything or everyone so narrow it down to something or someone specific.
- 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).
- 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 finally started writing serial fiction! While I would have loved for a web novel platform to exist within the Hive ecosystem, there's still a lot you can do here if you're creative. Writing those parts that have already gone up was so much fun, I’m really grateful that I have this chance to express that part of my mind, odd as it might be. You can check out the first part of the story here if you're interested (not intended for children 😉)
Alright, 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!
So... everyone is asleep huh!? I'm not 😏 (3:51 am here) but not for a good reason, I've catched a nasty cold and couldn't sleep anymore, the headache is gone so that's something, grateful for that if that counts! 😅
Not having a headache anymore is definitely a good reason to be grateful! Congrats, you commented first and won 100 Ecency Points 🥳 (feel better soon)!
I am grateful that yesterday we had a sold out of the new business my wife is starting! Thank you!
That's wonderful! I'm glad for both of you. And congrats, you commented second this week and won 90 Ecency Points 🥳!
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for this amazing community. The insights, support, and encouragement have made my experience in Splinterlands so much more enjoyable.
Nice! did you already find a guild?
It would be cool if one day @elementm starts playing splinterlands!
I'm decent at Tetris but I haven't developed any skills as a gamer beyond that 😂. Maybe one day though!
Hahaha! Tetris... That's a long time ago 😂
It's a classic! But if I ever get the urge to try something more complicated than falling blocks, I'll give Splinterlands a try 😄
Thanks for sharing that and congrats, you gave this week's fourth comment and won yourself 60 Ecency points 🥳!
I am grateful for grandparents for my one year old. Me and wife have been unable to sleep due to the little one waking up at the middle of the night. They have had him for the last couple of nights which has enabled us to get some more sleep.
Thank you 🤩
Oh, I know what that's like. Thank goodness for grandparents and congrats, you gave this week's third comment and won 70 Ecency points 🥳!
I am grateful that I have saved a lot of coins this week
Awesome! And congrats, you gave this week's 3rd comment and won 80 Ecency points 🥳!
This is why I shouldn't transfer anything while half asleep 😅
