Gratitude, not Attitude

This simple phrase seems to have changed my marriage overnight. My husband read a short blurb featuring this somewhat trite rhyme and it has become his mantra, and a saving grace to our relationship. The key is, think about something that you’re not too crazy about at the moment. Maybe it’s your job, your spouse, or even your commute. At one point, you were really excited about getting said job, or marrying said spouse. And while you might not have ever loved your commute, you were probably pretty happy when you bought that car. So think back to those times of joy, and have gratitude again for the things in your life that may have become a little less shiny and bright. They probably haven’t changed much… how have you?
