Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so I just wanted to let us remember what each of us is thankful for. Being thankful helps us to feel more positive about our lives and appreciate what we already have. In our daily lives, all of the attention usually gets buried under responsibilities, expectations, and ideals, so it is healthy to just pause and feel grateful.

So, dear fellow Pandas, it's time to share what you are thankful for.

Being grateful not only during holidays but in your daily life can have amazing benefits.

Bored Panda got in touch with a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University, Joshua Brown, Ph.D., to learn more about the healing properties of gratitude. When asked what the benefits of practicing gratitude are, Joshua said: “I can tell you that my colleagues and I studied gratitude expression, and we found that even writing a few short letters of gratitude to someone improved mental health even if the writer didn’t give the letters to the person they were grateful to.”

To understand better: gratitude is a mental state that we reach by practicing gratitude. To practice, you can start by just thinking about what you are grateful for once a day. You can even keep a gratitude journal or, as Joshua mentioned earlier, write letters. The purpose is to get you in a state of gratitude.

But the best part of practicing gratitude is that it has a long-term effect. Joshua said: “We also found that the practice of writing gratitude letters caused a measurable increase in the brain response to gratitude even several months later, in a region toward the front of the brain.”

So, Pandas, maybe it is time for us to start this new habit not only on holidays but every day.

“What Is Something You Are Thankful For”: 50 Pandas Shared For What They Feel Grateful This Year I'm extremely thankful for the advances in medicine and medical tech. I was diagnosed in '76 with Juvenile Type 1 diabetes. Back then, there wasn't really much known about the disease still. My pediatrician did what he could with what he knew, which thankfully was enough at that time. But, as years went on, more and more research has been done and better treatments developed. Now, at 48, I am on an insulin pump and have a device I attach to my arm for monitoring my blood sugars. The pump-I no longer have to give injections. The Blood Glucose Monitor-I no longer have to stick my fingers to test my blood sugar. Even now, they are still advancing their research for diabetes of all ages and both types (1 and 2). So thank you to all of the researchers, doctors, and everyone else for allowing us to live a less hectic life and a better health-controlled one instead.

I am thankful for the love of my small dog. I suffer from Schizophrenia and a bi-polar disorder and at various times have had suicidal ideations. During periods where it was an actual challenge to get out of bed in the morning she would nuzzle my head until I had no choice but to sit up and attend to her. Whenever I am too quiet at home she will will gently rub my leg with her paw as if to say "You ok?" It's may seem silly but her little gestures have kept me alive. I am forever grateful that my "rescue" has rescued me.

I'm very thankful that I left my abusive ex husband before he was able to damage me permanently. Thankfully I live in a country (Germany) that forced him to economically help me allowing me to rebuild my life without spending a day in the cold.( social system with women's shelter). Kids drive me crazy but they are healthy and happy. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and like a failure but so many things to me thankful for, help me come back to light and recognize that my life its better then the dark side of my head tells me. 💪

My sister! Without her, I wouldn't have been able to survive 3 deaths in the family in 2 years, being stuck 3000 miles away and unable to say my last goodbyes due to the pandemic, or being able to go back to school and eventually pull myself out of poverty to have a great job and future.

She spent the better part of 5 years taking care of our ailing father. After he passed at the beginning of the pandemic, she had no income and no place to stay. Because her sacrifices helped me, I am now in a position to help her.

She is now gainfully employed, living near dear friends and feeling free. She goes on road trips with her dog and I deserves it all! She is my rock and my family forever! I am very thankful for my big sister!

The second (a get it done type) recognises the added value and let’s me work my hours as I want. Now, after three years, every other Business Unit has somebody in a comparable position.

Pretty much every Thanksgiving and/or birthday (especially the milestone ones - I turned 50 last December), I give thanks for three things: 1 - I am gainfully employed (and at a job I actually enjoy). 2 - I am happily married, and to my best friend. 3 - I am (relatively) healthy. I'm overweight and diabetic, but have been able to maintain it pretty well without symptoms. I am a simple man, with simple needs and wants in life, and as such I am relatively content.

My 8th grade English teacher! I'm a sophomore now, but we still keep in touch and he's been there for me since my very first day of 8th grade!

My boyfriend. I needed an MRI, there's a while mess with insurance right now, and he looked up the cost online... and paid it. Just paid it. That's not why I love him, that's just one example of the kind of person he is. He's amazing and I don't know why he loves me... but I'm so grateful that he does.

I'm thankful for cryptocurrency. I never planned for retirement. Most of my jobs were bartending or waitressing, or making cash painting. I made great money but didn't save. (But I did pay off my house). Here I am at 60 with a bum back, two bad shoulders and haven't been in the regular workforce in 20 yrs. I flipped some homes, took some of that money 5 yrs ago and put it into crypto and now I don't have to worry about my future like I was doing.

crypto is just another pyramid scheme. Better get out before total collapse - there are no morons to buy bicoid for 100k!

I am so thankful that, on October 30th, my husband and I celebrated 4 years since his surgery for pancreatic cancer. The first doctor we went to after his diagnosis told us he had 3 months to live, and he should put his affairs in order. Luckily, we went to UCSF for another opinion, and thanks to a doctor there, we are able to celebrate his life. Amazing.

On a nightly basis, after I go to bed, I express gratitude for at least five things that happened during the day. If I can't initially think of anything, I say thanks for my bed, my pillow, having a roof over my head, etc. Usually, that gets the ball rolling, and often I drift off to sleep expressing gratitude for many, many things--including, of course, the loved ones in my life, both human and animal, both past and present. If it was a rough day, I begin by expressing gratitude that the "damn day" is over with. That, too, gets the ball rolling. When I initially began this practice, I went to the hardware store and bought a big numeral "5" to pin on the wall opposite my bed as a reminder, but I could have probably just drawn a big "5" on a piece of paper, as far as that goes! I think it is a good practice that helps to alleviate some of my own tendency toward negativity.

Always number one will be my daughter. This day and age having a decent paying job with benefits, owning a nice home, and being able to afford bills and food I realize with what little I have I actually have a lot and I some how lucked out. My heart goes out to those who have been struggling.
