Sue's Story - Gratitude
Gratitude became the light that guided me out of my darkest moments.

The best kind of attitude to maintain is one that comes with so much gratitude. Gratitude is an antidote for all the negativities that life has to offer.
I share the same sentiments as Branch from the animated movie Trolls when he said, “The world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows.” There is so much truth in this, and I learned that when life knocked me down to ground zero. I suffered from clinical depression and anxiety when my life went downhill. I vividly remember those nights when I constantly battled agonizing thoughts that terrorized my mind, the voice that told me I wasn’t good enough, the unhealthy eating habits, the sleeplessness, and the irregular hygiene routines.
Amid this turmoil, I stumbled upon The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. One word that deeply resonated with me was gratitude. In spite of everything, I was still alive and well, with a roof over my head and a family that loved me, even while I isolated myself. I was reminded of how abundant God’s grace and mercy are in my life, shown through both tangible and intangible blessings. I also learned to stay content and grateful in every trial, because there is always a silver lining when gratitude is given even for the difficult experiences.
However, procrastination became a habit during my struggles, making it hard to keep up with daily affirmations and gratitude lists. Then I discovered the Gratitude app, and it truly helped me. This app is a jewel, the prompts are wonderful, and I am so thankful I found it. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
