SPEND TIME WITH A GRATEFUL PERSON
Remember back in junior high when you'd be considered cool if you hung out with the popular kids? Cool by association? Well how about grateful by association? Attitude is contagious, and being around someone with a positive or gratitude is bound to influence you.

-Winston Churchill
Think of someone you know who has an attitude of gratitude. This is probably someone you like to spend time with because we naturally gravitate to people who are happy and upbeat rather than Debbie-downers. Make an extra effort to spend time with this person. It may be someone in your family that you see everyday. It could be someone at the office who is always upbeat, thanking others for their input on a project, and being grateful for the job they have. Maybe take time to sit by this person in the break room at lunch. They're positive attitude will influence you and raise your level of gratitude also.

Take some time to listen to the words of this song, Thankful, sung by Josh Groban. It will feel your heart with thankfulness, and maybe you can Become the person others will want to be around because you'll be the grateful one. -Rachael
