stuck at 26
I started a project to help change the way we look at things and think around the house. The last few days we have begun a list of things we are thankful for or "what makes you happy?". Wednesday we did 1-10. Thursday 11-20. Today we got stuck on 26. It was our oldest' turn. She froze. Seconds stretched through uncomfortable silence. Eventually we moved on to others. She later came up with a couple after we gave some examples of things others are thankful for. Its a bit of an indictment towards me that perhaps I don't portray a lifestyle of gratitude enough. I hope I can find ways to lead them to thankfulness, to see beauty in so many things that there is no need for a pause except to pick which one to mention first.
