RE: Putting the Magic of Gratitude on Steroids in Your Life for Big CHANGE FAST! Plus, what I did to interrupt my own flow.
Your post is just the reminder I needed, thank you. I have four children, and whenever they would have less-than-optimal attitudes, I would make them say three "grats." They couldn't be anything large and nebulous, they had to be specific and unique to the present moment. Worked like a charm to turn their attitudes around. I need that reminder myself now that they are grown and gone. I will join you in your daily gratitudes, starting now.
- I am grateful you posted this.
- I am grateful I had enough money today to have a hot meal, after living on peanut butter and jelly for the past two weeks.
- I am grateful that the heater is working, and I am warm.
- I am grateful for the opportunity #Steem has provided to me, to meet incredible people, to share their worlds, to learn, to grow, and to indelibly etch it all into the blockchain forever and ever.
- I'm really grateful for your @dolphinschool - I missed out on the structured course, but have been reading and doing the assignments, and it has helped tremendously. So thank you for that. Because of you, soon I'll be eating hot meals every day. You have no idea how much that means. Thank you.
I understand what having a large family means. I'm the oldest of seven and father of eight. But, I will tell you, I would not trade one second with them for all the things we've done without to give them the best life we could. I find myself reflected in each of them, like a fragmented mirror, the good and bad in myself shows so clearly in each of their personalities.
Three of mine are grown now. Two completely on their own, one is married, the other has been halfway across the country for a year. The third lives close to home with my wife's mother for a semester. She had an exchange student roommate and just didn't like the idea of a semester alone in a dorm room, at a mostly commuter school.
I've tried to teach mine the value of gratitude as well, I hope they've picked it up. It's so vitally important. I am certainly grateful for each of them.
