Gratitude - It’s Everywhere When You Know Where to Look

This is a packed month with celebrations for those graduates, fathers, new borns, weddings etc... There are all sorts of things to be thankful for. This is a time for gratitude. What are you thankful for?

Here is an idea I would like you all to consider. This is a gift I have given many times. Get a box; 4x4 inches and 2 inches tall is a good size (can be made of fabric, Lucite, metal, china, leather whatever you gravitate towards). Now cut up pieces of 3x3 inch colored paper. Write the answers to these BELOW (telling what you most love/like about them). The point is to share your thoughts in a way that shows how much they mean to you.

I guarantee you will bring smiles and laughter to their faces. So you give them a gift that they will always have. A “treasure” box where each day they could dip in and pick out a card; only to read the thanks from a friend or relative for their being alive.

It is never too late to say how much someone has influenced or made your life better just for being in it.

Step out of the box.
