Questions About Being Thankful/
Grateful Any Time of the Year
By Sonia Spackman MA, MFT
1. 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

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.
