Each night now after the kids say their bedtime prayers, we talk about what our favorite part of the day was, and what we are thankful for. My son is now 4 1/2 and he is very detailed in his answers every night. My daughter is 2, and she has started telling me as well.

"Excuse me," "thank you," "please," and "I am grateful" - these words were, and still are, quite common for me. You do not hear them much these days - omg, I sound old! - and the look of surprise and gratitude on people's faces when they hear these words is...profound.

I always found it odd that the only time most people are full of gratitude or give thanks is when they sit down, once a year, for Thanksgiving dinner. Taking a few quiet minutes every day to vocalize all that you are consciously thankful for can really make you feel lucky.El Gauchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123486882754116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-27285395527676469462011-01-05T15:23:50.788-05:002011-01-05T15:23:50.788-05:00And now, for my gratitude: Thank YOU for this post...And now, for my gratitude: Thank YOU for this post! xo jodiJodi Rhoden- Short Street Cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349040398773239343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-20657491917440770872011-01-05T15:10:49.200-05:002011-01-05T15:10:49.200-05:00Well said!Well said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-26621822036557634162011-01-05T14:03:36.174-05:002011-01-05T14:03:36.174-05:00I love this post.

I love the idea of instilling gratitude from the very start. My sister in law has worked as a nanny and she taught some of the children in her care to sign "thank you" before they could speak it. I want to try both your idea and hers when I'm a Momma!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337238083939662246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-8069916713108630892011-01-05T13:47:50.430-05:002011-01-05T13:47:50.430-05:00Thanks for this incredibly heartfelt, poignant pos...Thanks for this incredibly heartfelt, poignant post.
