Do you remember those who have encouraged you when you were down? Do you recall people who deserve gratitude for supporting you when you needed it most? Can you make a list of the important people and benefits you have in your life and what would your life be like without those benefits or people? Albert Schweitzer once said, “At times our light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted a flame within us.” 2. Why should I be thankful when no one seems to care? Grateful people don’t take others for granted. They don’t assume that people should treat them well or do things for them. They don’t feel they are entitled to more for any reason. Sometimes we get so focused on our ‘rights” that we forget to appreciate what we do have. Having an “attitude of gratitude” keeps us aware of appreciating things in our everyday life. Sometimes we might complain because our day isn’t what we hoped for. But when we are having a good day do we appreciate it? 3. What do our kids learn about thankfulness from watching us? It is obvious that gratitude should be given when someone does you a favor or buys you a gift. But there are times we usually take things for granted. For example: When the kids are behaving. You might think, “But kids should behave!” Showing thankfulness for their good behavior will promote more good behavior. When someone does a job well. Have our kids see us track down a manager and report a clerk that treated us well. One woman leaves soda and snacks on top of the garbage can for the garbage man. Now who would think of doing that? When friends or family do you a favor. We can easily overlook close family or friends when it comes to being grateful. Notice when they do CLASSIFIED ADS kind things and have the family show appreciation. Kids who watch grateful parents learn to be thankful. Studies have shown that these kids who feel and act more grateful tend to be less materialistic, get better grades, set higher goals, complain of fewer aliments and feel more satisfied with their families and friends than those who don’t. 4. How do we teach kids to be thankful? There are many ways to say “thank you” but the best ways are those that are personal. Make a sugarless dessert for someone who is diabetic. Edge your neighbor’s lawn when you do yours. Surprise the kids with ice cream sundaes. Give your spouse time to do what he or she enjoys best. My sister- in-law cleaned my house while I was at work one day. 5. How do I benefit from being thankful and grateful? Researchers say gratitude will improve our health. It is no secret that stress can make us sick and is linked to several leading causes of death. Studies show that those who have gratitude as a personal trait have an edge on the not so grateful when it comes to health, especially stress. There are studies linking optimism to better immune function, outcomes for people with serious health problems, and those preparing for surgery. Thankful people are less likely to be depressed, envious, greedy, or alcoholic and more likely to sleep soundly and take care of their health. 6. How can you be grateful when you are going through a tragedy? Even in the face of a tremendous loss gratitude is possible. Gratitude in the after math of 9/11 helped some people avoid suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. How do some people feel grateful in the face of challenging life circumstances while others fall into despair? It can be about a personality and about a way of looking at the world and yourself. Some focus their attention inward toward themselves and others more outward toward others. continued on page 18 To place an ad call: 503-367-0098 email: scott@vernoniasvoice.com FOR RENT SERVICES SERVICES WANTED 5 Bdrm/3 Bath Home $750/mo. $500/dep.
