  1. I am grateful for the contributions of asian Americans to the United States throughout history and today.

  2. Do not harm this environmental, do not cut trees, and I am grateful truly

  3. I am grateful for the Chesapeake Bay and I am grateful for those who are appreciating the increased quality of the bay's health in the recent year.

    To continue to experience improved health we must remain engaged with the topic of the ecosystem's health and harmony, such mental subject matter also brings about inner health!

    I am thankful for the creative ideas and energy going into preventing the problem of storm water runoff polluting the tributaries of the bay. I see now that the oysters (25,000 of which have been supplemented into the bay in freedom last Monday by oyster farmers looking to give back to the environment, oysters are vital to the bay's ecosystem, they are powerful water filters and longevity producers for the bay) are a major help in reducing damage done by storm water runoff.

    In addition we must thank the oyster mushrooms as well, a bay native mushroom species that has ability to detoxify oil and purify water it is left in contact with. I am thankful that I have had some effect on the health of local streams by dropping oyster mushrooms into them at polluted locations. I am grateful that others are also protecting these wildlife areas. The deer must be bowed to and respected, they demand homes and areas to live and be healthy, they demand to be treated like American citizens, it is the proper time for Americans to highlight their open mind by allowing and advocating for more deer rights to be respected. By giving the deer their proper space and not thinking we can just kill them off as a sub human species we preserve large parts of the environment around us needed for all life rather than selfishly and arrogantly thinking we can own and sell it away when the deer are using it and have priority need for that space.

    I am grateful for the selflessness of humans in the bay area, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York in regards to this new principle of respect for the deer and for their space, rather than encroachment.

  4. I am grateful that the United States is feeling the visible results of a large democracy majority in every state. I am not going to say a lot, just be efficient, yes I am going to think of it especially this coming 🇺🇸Thanksgiving

  5. I am grateful people being born at this time aren't having a good birthday, its karma.

  6. Good attitudes pleases God.

  7. This video beautifully explains how gratitude isn’t just a feel-good emotion , its backed by science !! This is such a good reminder that gratitude isn’t just a nice idea, it actually changes how our brains work. It’s wild how something so simple can have such a big impact on our mood and health 🌿

  8. I am grateful for amanita muscaria mushrooms, I am grateful that these mushrooms grow on our planet and are full of powerful energy, I am asking the spirit of these mushrooms for assistance in my life and I am grateful for what they bring. I see them as powerful and helpful spiritual teachers.

  9. I am grateful for the buddhist monks teaching about the four noble truths and other buddhist techniques around the metro train stations in washington dc.

    I saw one of these monks sitting and meditating with material expressing support for a current President Biden (power of now), I was surprised at how mindful and buddhist the gesture was. Zen, in a very true sense it is so right now, the mind is not constricted, the flow is not resisted.

    I am grateful for the high vibration democrat commentary of a few of these passionate monks who have directed travellers in the WashingtDC area to the budhist shrines and liberating teachings of the buddha.

    I admire the egolessness and transcendence of desire that the buddhist monks show and I respect that they take the time to be different by showing the Buddha in DC

  10. I am grateful for the political government of Israel for accepting open peace w/ Gaza, it is endearing that those taken hostage were needed to be returned, this is the end of cheshvan (april) and they are being agreed to be returned. There is peace that will be agreed to. I am grateful that there is no more war, no more low vibrations of that nature because of the return of those individuals who were kidnapped. I am happy to hear that marijuana is being shared openly by israelis with gazans right at this moment, there is a very large amount. This marijuana is causing harmful vibes to break away, it is causing the people in those regions to heal and exit aggro-mode.

    I am thankful that the different cultures in the middle east are in this modern age making a point to smoke marijuana with eachother and to remain deeply influenced by marijuana's teachings…

    The people in gaza are sharing some ancient information about sacred marijuana healing. I am thankful for that because it was powerful enough to end a war, and it will prevent many more in the future. It will prevent them all. So I am thankful that this plant grew and that people cast away violent ways and overly macho behavior…

  11. Gratitude is a gift of life 🙏

  12. Love it, and love you!

  13. Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 please share this far and wide. Jealousy is an unhealed wound which can only be healed through gratitude and appreciate for who YOU are what you have in your OWN lifes, not others. Be wise that there are always people out in the world who have far less and are in far worse situations than what you could ever possibly imagjne for your own lifes( Use the technique of visualizing)such as :living in War zones, Being abused in the most horrific ways possible, starving to death, Being homeless, not having your limbs, being blind or/and deaf. So please always appreciate what YOU have through gratitude. No one else can walk YOUR path for YOU. the very clear air you breath whilst its still clear, literally the beats of your heart. your homes, your familys, your friends, your health being your wealth etc.

    Its far better to be an OG that you were born to be with YOUR OWN Unique Authentic self then to copy cat anothers identity. You are perfect the way you are, never forget this Truth, its society that made you lose your real self.
    Amen,
    Love light and healing always 🌟 ❤️ 🦋🫶😘

  15. very cool video. great idea idea's and very usefull

  16. I am grateful for the American Veterans for their bravery and commitment to serving the USA and its people and ideals, this Veterans Day.

    I am giving a grateful bow to those who served for America's defense and for their loyalty and love for the American Way, it means a lot to us all here that the United States continues to exist, for the portion of that existence which should be attributed not to its civilian citizens directly nor to its governors we must thank the legendary Veterans for their heart and skill and efficacy.

    Respect, may we make them proud to have preserved the land that gave us the freedom to live wise lives with justice for all and not hypocrisy

    Respect, please help the third eye prevent any need for deployment of military keep the energy of peace prevalent on earth and in the american hearts, times of low vibration conflict are in truly the past only now. Remember Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King

  17. life changing, count your blessings, its so simple yet easily overlooked

  18. So grateful for your clear explanations!

  19. I am Grateful for Hoang Thi Minh Hong's freedom, she is a prominent environmentalist in Vietnam, she is helping to root and shape a much more eco government implementation. She was months ago indicted on convoluted charges of tax fraud, with a string of other unrelated environmentalists and activists in Vietnam being charged with very similar and equally made up claims in a short time period of the kast three years or so. Hoang is free now and didn't serve time in jail thanks to a great personal sharpness and victory of heart and enlightenment in Vietnam, they know if they love their forest they cannot hold back the ones who have held it to heal it for long now, calling through to break through to the people only to be silenced by a power fearful government. Hoang Thi Minh Hong taught vietnam to appreciate the female contribution not call it fraudulent, she is a bastion of equality and eco victory, womangroves Vietnam.thank you for sticking to solar power and for restoring your mangrove and womangrove forests, thank you for growing shrimp with integrity not in abuse to nature's gifts, thank you Goddess Vietnam for your recent trend of official morality, may it continue and may many good hearts blossom in Vietnamese people (and wildlife) healthily

    I am grateful Hoang showed personal power.

  20. Thank you Israelis for pursuing peace in the middle east
    Thank you for bringing your sincere efforts and heart opening movements both for others and yourselves. I am grateful that Israel is keeping over the mundane vibrations and truly but barely, hannukah barely remaining in the right spirit as a place of clean mature souls not a warmonger.

    I am grateful for deeds of kindness towards Arab neighbors from Israelis in the coming weeks

  21. I was OBSESSED with this art style!!!

  22. Grateful for full episodes of hey Arnold on YouTube – I am grateful for the emo style
    I am grateful for the punk style
