Have each family member write down one thing they’re thankful for every day. Saving the writings in a pouch or an envelope allows the writer to go back and read them from time to time when they are feeling sad.
Another way to find appreciation is to write thank-you notes to whoever does something good for you. This is a good habit to teach children because it can turn into a life-long habit that will have many good rewards for them in the future.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
