[@helenawoods]

As a human species, we are starved of appreciation. I think it's something that our consumerist society has slowly capitalized on overtime. Gratitude is such a simple way to find more presence and joy in the everyday simple things. I make films all about gratitude and slow living because it has made such a profound impact on my life - leaving big city life and fast ambitions and slowing down, being appreciative for the simple, small delights of being alive on Earth. There is so much to be grateful for. If only we slow down and notice.

[@FairylandCottage]

So true. It’s how all the marketing companies make money for their clients!

I will have to watch this again...I was so caught up in the beauty of the scenes, the nature sounds and your soothing voice that I'm not sure I heard anything you said! LOL - I think I'll just save this one for when I need some peace. I am grateful for this channel!

[@catharinabra]

Oh I love the rain in the beginning, the sound of the rain is like music to my ears. This was a lovely video, as always, I’m feeling very grateful this summer, happy to be alive and have my health 🙏 grateful for my family, my chickens and my garden.

Wonderful message. One of the things I do every morning is write a letter to God. Most lines in it begin with "Thank You". I agree that being thankful makes you less inclined to hold too tightly to "things" and value sunrises, sunsets, breezes, and the less materialistic much more.

What a lovely video. Thank you. I have started during our lockdown to remember to say thank you and be grateful for our postman and garbage pickup people. I leave them little notes and small things sometimes. It is amazing how wonderful it feels.

Gratitude is a characteristic of wisdom, along with courtesy, grace, solitude, and tolerance. Our values are about how we live in the world, not society. Great thoughts as always my good dear. Keep it up. 🌹🌷

[@Mark723]

Such an amazing thought put so beautifully - you must be a writer; and if not, then you MUST be a writer.

[@martinnichols45]

Your videos are bringing so much peace into my life ...... I started following Dr.Greger videos and , I'm into the process of learning to become a whole food plant based person . It's harder for me , having been a bodybuilder all my life eating tons of meat . Above all, I'm improving my spiritual dimension and mindset on life with your videos . I tend to be a negative /realistic person who can judge others and putting too much pressure on myself wanting to achieve my goals but I find it to be very destructive . Meanwhile , life is passing by VERY quick and I'm missing out on the real important things to appreciate . Thank you !

[@camjamcam1]

Who would Put a thumbs down on this? I have so much gratitude for the beautiful videos that come from Fairyland Cottage. SO peace-inducing an inspiring!

I would not have believed all these benefits coming from gratitude, had I not been conciously practicing gratitude myself over the past few months. I can now say that all of these benefits are true! It truly is lifechanging, cannot recommend it enough.

I just wrote my 3 words I want to reflect on this month: focus, intent, and gratitude so this is just perfect

[@FairylandCottage]

Ah I love the synchronicity of that. X

[@Genie519]

Gratitude can also be contagious. I have always been very thankful for the rain how it helps us to slow down, stay cozy inside and it helps nature. Now my boys love the rain. They get excited and see the benefits of a rainy day. It's a small thing but I hope it helps mold them into a kinder mindset. Plus they love splashing in the puddles too:). Thank you for another beautiful video!

[@FairylandCottage]

Nothing like splashing in the puddles! Contagious indeed... it’s amazing what kids pick up from us adults.

[@marthamcquaid5440]

I’m so glad that you made this video. Here in America we are over indulged and have an over abundance of everything but I see a lack of gratitude for what we do have. This is why I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@FairylandCottage]

So interesting. It’s similar here. We think we need more to be happy but we just need to see what we have. X

[@justbeachy2031]

I completely agree. I've been hoping that everything happening here is a wake-up call. I just hope people will take the opportunity and WAKE UP!

[@marthamcquaid5440]

Just Beachy Just Beachy Not sure what part of the country you’re in but here in the mid-Atlantic it has gotten ridiculous. I’m hoping it does too but with cable and nonstop advertising it’s almost impossible. The hardest part is when your friends and family aren’t on board.

Thank you for bringing out the point that when we are thankful we get away from the negative thoughts which is really hard to fight them in our brain.....but as we r thanking we really are freeing ourself from those down bringing thoughts which we are all fighting in our daily lifes

Such kind words. Thank you for your support. X

[@doro8856]

Wow! That was fantastic to see that bug cutting that leaf so perfectly and then flying off with it! What was that, d'you know? And that wee bird having a bath was lovely. As I watch you wandering through the woods and see the rain, and listen to you scooping your granola in Ireland, I think you have the perfect life of all lives. Absolutely beautiful.

[@FairylandCottage]

Ah that was a leaf cutter bee. Truly magical they are! Took ages to get that shot. The little bird washing is a wren. Everyday he comes in the evening to wash. I rarely can get a shot! He is so quick. I truly don’t have a perfect life. I just do my best to focus on the good and expand that so that no matter what is happening I feel grateful for the lesson. It’s not always easy.

[@shawnamorin9618]

I read somewhere years ago that even changing how you say things like "I get to go to the grocery store" instead of saying "I have to go" changes your perspective. Most of us are very lucky to have the freedoms and privileges that so many don't, so we shouldn't just take them for granted. Thank you for always showing us what amazing beauty we have all around us.

Your channel is soo calming and inspiring too and good for wellbeing thank you so much for starting this up . Agree with gratitude and the more we are grateful the more things/ experiences we will receive to be for too. People are more likely to support us if we are genuinely grateful too and will increase our capacity to give also. It is hard to feel resentment and gratitude at the same time 🙏

Very much needed this today. I moved back home to care for an aging mom, who was abusive (and still is). Although she shows no gratitude to me, I have found peace in remembering what I do have to be grateful for, including showing myself gratitude for what I do and knowing that I will always do right by her. I am also grateful for your videos and IG! They bring an automatic exhale moment the world needs. Namaste and blessed be 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗♥️

[@FairylandCottage]

The Wayward Witch well done for caring for your mum. Some of Gabor Mate work may help you. We do not have to look after someone who abuses us so keep an eye on yourself and how you are doing.

[@MyWaywardLife]

Fairyland Cottage thank you for the suggestion! I did seek therapy over 30 years ago, which has given me a clear understanding of the issues at play. I have a great, small group of friends who support me and my spiritual practice and ancestral work has always been my anchor. I think one of the strengths that helped me as a child, and definitely as an adult, is being a survivor and not staying a place of victim. I do call her on her actions. But, during this time in quarantine, I am finally learning when to walk away from the argument, for both our sakes. 🙏🏽

[@nicolefields5917]

Lovely, as always, to have this brief time with you each week, especially to see the rain-it’s been months since our last rain and I am missing it. I also find that practicing gratitude is a wonderful way to get us out of the critical mind and into the heart mind. Consumerism teaches us to always want what someone else has, not to be grateful for what we do have, and gratitude is one of the very first lessons I felt was important to teach my children for this reason. We are surrounded by the advertisements of the next best shiny object when we often have bounty in so many places, regardless of how many physical possessions we have. I try to end my day with a gratitude reflection that includes physical and non-physical things for which I am grateful. Wishing you a beautiful and gratitude-filled week!

I think that we complicate gratitude a lot. But it’s as simple as recognising what we have around us. It surely doesn’t have to be big things. Happiness can be found by feeling grateful towards the smaller thing in life much easily. This video was so calming. I recently made a video about gratitude as well.

[@dwynn57]

thank you so much for making this! It really makes me realize that the reason that I am so critical of other people is that I am not expressing my gratitude.

I mentioned that I broke my pinky toe last month, the people in my group were so worried about me and were very caring. I felt extremely grateful for having caring friends. I think that since I don't hold a grudge, they are talking and joking with me more and more. Being truly grateful is very powerful.

[@FairylandCottage]

So powerful! Yes when we don’t hold grudges we can have fun with the people around us. So much time is wasted in life having grudges.
