"This experience is a one time thing. Every day counts. Every day matters. Every action you do matters. Every friendship you have, every missed opportunity, every opportunity you seize, it all counts. If you can have gratitude, if you can go to this life with joy and wonderment and say, no matter what, I'm gonna try today to make this better than yesterday - or to pass it to somebody else if I'm having a great time or not, then your life will definitely be enriched.
BUT IT TAKES WORK. OTHERWISE THAT'S JUST A PLATITUDE"
How do you express your gratitude?
Teaching gratitude to my older kid was very easy, she would meet your eye, smile, and say a polite thank you. The younger kid, on the other hand, always turned beet red, opened his mouth and eyes wide, and looked down, so getting him to acknowledge and say ‘thank you’ was extremely tough. Most often, his beet-red face and downturned eyes were acknowledged as…

Understand the Purpose of Feedback

Prompt 4 - Gratitude for a Supportive Relationship
A special song that rarely heard today is Bette Midler’s Wind Beneath My Wings. The song is all about giving props to that special someone who’s been a rockstar supporter. It’s like saying, “Hey, you’ve been the wind beneath my wings, helping me shine and soar high.” In life, it’s about showing love and gratitude to those awesome people—be it mentors, friends, or family—who quietly have your back…

@dead-finch-420 threatened me only 40% so i better take my chances, but being completely honest having look at those old sketches made me just wanna redraw them all so here we are
Hope you guys had a good Christmas! This started off as a doodle of Mary as the Ghost of Christmas Present but I decided to add onto it with a couple other managers. Anyways, Happy Holidays!
Reading Zoro’s character description for the LA really hit me hard with the fact that Zoro’s probably happier now than he’s ever been in his life. “Meeting Luffy is the biggest thing that ever happened to Zoro”. And yes yes yes that’s true for most Strawhats, but thats usually because Luffy freed them from villains who were actively making their lives miserable. Zoro was in trouble when he met Luffy, yes, but it was because of a deal he willingly made with Helmeppo, a punishment he decided to endure against someone who wasn't a real threat to him. Zoro was always free to do as he pleased. But, much like Luffy was before setting sail himself, he was also terribly alone.
Unable to build connections because once he set sail from each island his sense of direction made it so he could never return. Having to fight and kill to afford each meal, while maintaining a very demanding lifestyle. Facing each battle knowing that even if he wins, it could still be game over, as he couldn’t afford to sit back and let himself recover, and there was no one he could trust to help him dress wounds and stand up again.
By giving him a navigator, a cook, a doctor, a crew, Luffy has given him the world. People to love and protect and fall back on, people to help him follow his dream and enjoy every second of the chase. And I’m sure he tells himself that if he were to quit the crew at any time, he’d survive on his own just fine, but that’s such an empty fucking threat because these people have made him happier than he’s ever been, just as free as before but now finally living. I love him sm.
