You hear it lot in articles around this time of year - thankfulness. I don’t spend enough time being thankful. I say that every year around Thanksgiving and have thus failed in my efforts to really integrate gratitude and thankfulness into my everyday attitude. Don’t get me wrong, I do try to show appreciation and try to look around and soak in the goodness of my life. I just don’t feel like it is my first or foremost tendency. I’m a fixer, I look for things that need to be better; need to be improved. That often gets in the way of gratitude - even when it shouldn’t.
