GRATITUDE | LIFE LESSONS | PARENTING

2 Simple Words That Will Make Someone's Day

How to nurture a grateful and appreciating heart

I’ve written a lot about gratitude recently and it reminded me of the time I took my youngest son Andrew Trick-or-Treating.

Every time he got a treat, whether it was a couple of pieces of candy or a handful, Andrew would say, “Thank You.”

I only asked once if he thanked folks to make sure he didn’t forget. He kinda looked at me funny as if to say, “Of course I did Dad!”

It’s a small thing but it’s the right thing to do. It was something my parents instilled in me at a young age and something I’ve tried to instill in my boys.

Having a grateful and appreciating heart, as our quote indicates, helps us appreciate even the simplest of things.

I know when a young person thanks me for something, I take notice. Sadly that common courtesy seems to be lacking today.

Just to reinforce this, I made sure I was thanking folks too. Andrew needs to see me doing it and I need to do it for myself.

Daily Doable: Always say “Thank You,” even for the SMALLEST things. It will nurture a grateful and appreciating heart in you.

P.S. Later that night after we came home, Andrew said to me, “Thanks for taking me, Dad.” THAT made my day!
