Nurturing Gratitude

Here's a list of what I remember from our discussion.

Thankful Tree-each night leading up to Thanksgiving, write things you're thankful for on leaves and attach to tree.
Gratitude garland-for Thanksgiving Day. Have guests write things they're thankful for on leaves and attach to garland.
Thanksgiving Extravaganza-grab a small handful of corn kernels, throw each kernel into a body of water while saying/yelling out what you're thankful for.
Service.
Model gratitude. Express gratitude. Thank your children and talk about them in positive ways.
Try to see the best side of things & people. Nitpicking DOES NOT show gratitude for spouse.

Feel free to add or expound. Also, about service: in the comments, please write ideas for service.
