Thank you to my dear Watty family!

As the holiday season wraps ups, I just wanted to give out a thank you. I know that I haven't reached my goal, but I think this would still be nice anyway...

My reveal is giving out Shout-outs to those that help me reach my goal. I haven't seen many people give any much thought or recognition to the very people that help other people reach following goals.

To me it seems a bit selfish as those people didn't have to help you (or me). Yes sure some people give out a "Thank you" to those that do help, but is that enough?

To some it actually might be enough, but to me it isn't enough. To me I feel like I need to give something back to the people that went out of their way to help me reach my goal(s).

For this I started doing this goal for Thanksgiving, we didn't reach our mark. So I moved it to Christmas, and we still didn't make our mark, but that is very much okay!

I think people have been waiting long enough so I'm going to give out my reveal here after Christmas. 

So after all the chaos is over I will be shouting out those that have given me a shout-out. Yes I have everyone's username written down so I know EXACTLY who gave me a shout-out.

Each person will have a chapter, right in this book, dedicated to them. I will not only give you a shout-out, but I will give you a very pretty aesthetic shout-out. So you're shout-out will be decorated, throughout, and very much show my gratitude. 

And if I continue to do these following goals, and you want to be the next one featured in this book all you have to do is give me a shout-out and you could see your Username right here in this book!

But I believe that is it for my reveal- 

I will get to work on those Shout-outs as soon as Christmas is over. I have a handful or little over a handful of people who gave me a Shout-out so I can't slack off at all with this. (Like I have been with my books...)

Anyway, I wanted to give out that information, but I think it's time for me to also give out my "thanks" as well.

I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude with all of you. Each and every one of you have helped me try to achieve my goals, pushed me to start some of my goals, and have helped me/guide me into coming up with new goals to help improve my account.

This chapter explores the psychological and emotional benefits of expressing my gratitude to all of you. It discusses the science of thankfulness and its impact on well-being, relationships, and overall happiness. It introduces the concept of a thank you "letter" as a powerful tool for personal growth and strengthening bonds, and can even be emotional ones as well.

This has been nothing, but an emotional rollercoaster for me here on this account. I have went through a lot and honestly couldn't have done it without you guys. You all have been nothing, but super freaking nice and sweet and I adore every single one of you for that. You all have shown me what it's like to be a likable person and to show strength over weakness, joy over fear, and happiness over sadness. 

This year has been an incredible journey, and having you (all) by my side has made it even more special. Your unwavering support, kind comments, and endless love for my stories have been the greatest gifts I could ever ask for.

This "Thank you" will guide you through the exercises to identify and reflect on things that I'm grateful for. It explores different types of gratitude—for people, events, opportunities, and possessions—and provides practical methods for cultivating a grateful mindset. My mindset has been changed for the better because everyone here is just so loving and caring even if we are all strangers to each other.

So thank you. This "Thank you" is a time of love, joy, and connection, and I feel so blessed to have found a family here on Wattpad. Each and every one of you has brought light and inspiration into my life. Teaching me and guiding me without ever really knowing it. 

I just hope you keep being with me. I know some have been with me from the very beginning or have just joined our little corner of the world, know that your presence means everything to me. It's a true gift to have everyone and to know most of you are my silent little supporters, but I am so very grateful for that.

It delves into the ongoing practice of gratitude, providing strategies for maintaining a grateful mindset beyond the act of writing this. As we celebrate this time of giving and togetherness, I wish you all endless joy, cozy moments, and memories that make your heart smile. May your days be filled with laughter, love, and the magic of this festive time.

Thank you for being the incredible readers, friends, and supporters that you are. You've made my year brighter with being such helpful, gifted souls. I could have never ever imagined that I could get so far, but because of your guys support, it was possible. And I am so freaking thankful for that.

I have had a rough start in the beginning, but as time is rolling on it has been getting better, and it's gotten better because of you!

Here's to more stories, more laughter, and more memories in the coming year! Thank you so much to my Watty friends and family!

Love,

~Rissi
