Cultivating Gratitude

Here in the Last household, we're making an effort to focus on things we can be thankful for. This is an exercise in futility rage frustration perseverance, because things have not been their rosiest…but still, we try to spend a little time between arguments thinking about things for which we are grateful. We're making a Thanksgiving Tree this week and I'll post pictures Thursday. But you can see a little of what the kids are grateful for from the school bulletin boards. It's just … so perfect. 

Cody: "I am thankful for all the seasons, people, and peace."

Cordelia: "I like pumpkins because they are nice and round. I like pumpkin pie, but we bake brownies, too."

Cody: World Peace.
Cordelia: Dessert.
